Description

Diani is basically a straight lane along the beach with a bunch of touristy activities often mixing with the local Kenyans to take you around for snorkeling and fishing trips on their fishing boats or even around the sacred forest on the southern part. Camel rides, motorbike rentals to cruise around, Scuba diving with Diani Marine, Marine park safaris in Wasini island, Kite surfing down the road at Kenyaways, Safaris from our gate or even Skydiving over the mesmerizing beach of Diani are as many activities that you can do, according to everybody’s budget. The proximity with Shimba hills national park allows us to take you hidden places we know of with the most dazzling sightseeings you can hope for when heading to Africa. Mombasa being just a matatu ride away, you can also experience the busy and noisy city, walk markets and check out some cultural monuments of the island. The nightlife is another story! Let’s not say that the usual options are infinite, but 40 thieves beach bar/club/happy place will always welcome whoever is keen to head to the sunrise. Many places can host the pre gaming starting with our bar, but we can always provide alternatives in some lounge bars along the beach to build the tension up the right way! Madafoo or Swahili beach resort to quote only a couple. To put it in a nut shell, try a night out with us and we can promise that missing your flight the following day won’t be a downer!

    I stayed at Diani backpackers for a week for work, and it was amazing. I would highly recommend this place to budget travelers looking for an affordable place to stay in Diani. The ambience is conducive for socializing, working, resting, and the staff are available if you need to ask for recommendations of activities to do in the area. The food & the bar also have great service. The beach is just a few minutes walk, and you can always find motorbikes or tuktuks to take you to wherever you need to go in Diani.
