In Kenya, East Africa
Diani Beach in pictures.
Diani Beach is consistently voted one of the best beaches in Africa, and for good reason. Stretching along Kenya's southern coast, it features miles of powdery white sand bordered by a lush forest of palm and ancient baobab trees. The shore is protected by a coral reef, creating calm, shallow turquoise waters that are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. For the more adventurous, Diani is a world-class destination for kitesurfing and skydiving. Beyond the beach, the nearby Shimba Hills National Reserve offers a chance to see the rare sable antelope and coastal elephants. The area is also rich in Swahili culture, with historic mosques and vibrant markets nearby. Whether you are looking for a luxurious resort experience, a boutique hideaway, or a lively spot to enjoy fresh seafood and cocktails as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, Diani Beach is the ultimate tropical escape.
