Diani Beach

After the early mornings and long drives of safari, Diani Beach in Kwale County, Kenya is the exhale: barefoot lunches, warm shallow water, and nothing on the schedule but the tide.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Kenya: The original safari, still magnificent. Most travelers weave Diani Beach into a longer route taking in Masai Mara, Amboseli elephants and Rift Valley lakes.

The operators on SafariSuite run Diani Beach regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
