Diani Beach
Diani is the beach the postcards are made of: 17 kilometres of white sand, palm-shaded and lapped by a warm, reef-protected Indian Ocean. We base you all-inclusive at the Baobab Beach Resort & Spa — a clifftop resort spread over three wings above the sand, with meals, local drinks and most activities included, so once you arrive there's nothing left to arrange. This is how you finish a Kenya trip: slow mornings, a dhow cruise at sunset, a boat out to the Kisite marine park to snorkel with turtles and dolphins, and as much or as little as you want in between. We handle the flights, the transfers and the extras.

Included in your package price — exact camp, lodge, or hotel confirmed after booking.
Indicative schedule — day by day
Planned rhythm for your trip — your guide may adjust on the day for conditions, light and wildlife.
Day 1: Fly to the coast
Short flight Nairobi → Diani (Ukunda) or Mombasa, met and transferred to the Baobab Beach Resort & Spa. Check in, and the rest of the day is yours — the pools, the spa, or straight onto the sand. All meals and local drinks are included from the moment you arrive.
Day 2: Dhow & the sand bar
A lazy beach morning, then an afternoon dhow cruise — sail the lagoon, snorkel the reef, and anchor at a sand bar for sundowners as the sky turns pink. Back to the resort for dinner.
Day 3: Kisite Marine Park
Boat trip down to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park to snorkel coral gardens with turtles and dolphins, with a Swahili seafood lunch on Wasini Island. Evening back at the resort — a spa treatment or a quiet drink on the terrace.
Day 4: A day for the sand
A full day at leisure, nothing scheduled — sleep in, book a spa treatment, try the watersports off the beach, or do gloriously little between the pool and the ocean. All meals and local drinks included, as ever.
Day 5: Last morning, fly back
A final swim and breakfast on the beach, then transfer to the airport and the flight back to Nairobi.

Preparation & packing
Before you go
- This section is general Kenya travel guidance — not a substitute for official advice or your doctor.
- We confirm trip-specific details (property, pickup times, park rules) with you on WhatsApp before departure.
- Questions about Diani Beach? Message us anytime — we'd rather you ask than guess.
Visa & entry
- Most visitors need a Kenya eVisa before travel — apply at evisa.go.ke and check current fees and rules.
- Passport usually needs 6+ months' validity and blank pages — verify with your airline and immigration.
- Keep a printed copy of this itinerary and your eVisa for border control.
Health
- Yellow fever certificate may be required depending on where you are travelling from — check Kenya's latest entry rules.
- Malaria prevention is commonly recommended for safari areas — ask your doctor well before you fly.
- Travel insurance with medical evacuation cover is strongly recommended.
- Bring personal medication in original packaging.
Weather & clothing
- Safari mornings and evenings are often cooler than midday — layers work better than one heavy coat.
- Neutral colours (khaki, olive, beige) are standard for game drives.
- Rain can appear in any season — a light waterproof layer is worth packing.
- We send a short weather note for your dates once your trip is confirmed.
Packing list
- Comfortable closed shoes for walking + sandals for camp or lodge
- Sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
- Binoculars if you have a pair (optional — ask us if you'd like a recommendation)
- Power bank + travel adaptor (Kenya commonly uses Type G plugs, 240V)
- Soft bag often works better than a hard suitcase if your trip includes light-aircraft legs — we'll confirm luggage limits for your routing
- Some cash in USD (clean, newer bills) or KES for tips and small purchases
- Insect repellent
Money & connectivity
- Cards work in Nairobi and at many properties; cash is still useful for tips and markets.
- M-Pesa is widely used in Kenya — we can walk you through it on arrival if helpful.
- Wi‑Fi varies by property (lodge, camp, or hotel) — signal on game drives is usually limited.
- Tipping customs vary by property and guide — we share current guidelines for your trip before you travel.
