Diani Beach Excursions Activities

Full Day Excursion at Diani.

The Great Migration, Giraffe Manor, and the Maasai tribe are what most people usually think of when they hear the word, Kenya. But the country’s best-kept secret (for now) is its incredible coastline.

Diani Beach is one of the top destinations on Kenya’s southern coastline.

Palm trees frame its sandy white beaches and crystal-clear turquoise water laps at its shores. As corny as it sounds, it didn’t look real at first.

The shades of blue are so vibrant, camels stroll along the beach, and the ocean temperature is perfect.

If you’re after an affordable beach holiday, put Diani Beach on your list! There are plenty of things to do, super affordable accommodation options, and you can pick up cheap flights from Kenya’s capital city, Nairobi.

iv)Kinondo Sacred Forest

This activity is after Bora Bora Wildlife Sanctuary Park.

The Kaya Kinodo Sacred Forest is home to the Digos. The tribe was kicked out of Somalia and Northern Kenya and eventually ended up in the forests along Kenya’s southern coast.

Today, a small stretch of the forest remains, and the tribe has started forest walks as an eco-tourism project. During the trek, you’ll have a member from the Digo tribe guide you through the forest. You’ll learn about their history, culture, traditions, and why the Kaya Kinondo Forest is a sacred place for the tribe.
