What Our Guests Say

★★★★★
The absolute perfect short honeymoon. Combining a real elephant safari at Shimba Hills with lazy days on Diani's white sand felt like two dream holidays wrapped in one short trip.
Sarah & David P.
★★★★★
The flight logistics from Nairobi were incredibly smooth, and the Wasini Island dhow trip with the dolphins was a total highlight. Our beachfront villa in Diani was paradise personified.
Julien Mercier
★★★★★
Having a genuine safari morning at Shimba Hills followed by a sunset dhow cruise the same week was unforgettable. Kudu Untamed curated a genuinely flawless coast-to-bush journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often.

It's a direct scheduled flight of around an hour, landing at Ukunda airstrip just minutes from your villa. Our team coordinates your transfer so you're on the beach the same afternoon.

We recommend light, breathable clothing and swimwear for the beach, with one set of neutral-coloured layers and closed shoes for the Shimba Hills day safari and forest walks.

Applicable Shimba Hills park fees and Kisite-Mpunguti marine park fees depend on your itinerary and quotation — your specialist will confirm exactly which authority charges apply to your trip.

Absolutely. We offer tailored romantic integrations including surprise private beach dinners, villa flower arrangements, in-room champagne on arrival, and a private sunset dhow cruise — all on request.

Diani is a year-round destination, with the driest, sunniest stretches from July to March. We recommend booking 2–3 months in advance for peak season dates, particularly for the luxury and ultra-luxury villa tiers.
