Your 5-Day Journey
From Nairobi arrival to your final morning on the sand — every day crafted to balance genuine safari adventure with total beach relaxation.
Arrival & Beachfront Welcome
Board a direct scheduled flight from Nairobi straight to Diani's airstrip on the south coast. Settle into your beachfront villa, then unwind with a welcome sundowner as the Indian Ocean glows gold at dusk.
Free Beach Day
A fully unstructured day on Diani's powder-white sands. Swim the calm lagoon, try a kite-surfing lesson, or take an optional guided walk through the Colobus Conservation forest just behind the dunes.
Shimba Hills Day Safari
An early departure inland to Shimba Hills, Kenya's only reserve protecting the rare sable antelope. Track elephant herds through coastal rainforest and hike to the base of Sheldrick Falls before returning to the coast by afternoon.
Dolphins, Reefs & Dhow Lunch
Sail south to the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park in search of pods of resident dolphins, then snorkel vibrant coral gardens in warm, clear water. Enjoy a traditional Swahili seafood lunch aboard a wooden dhow before returning at sunset.
Leisure Morning & Farewell
A final relaxed morning to enjoy the beach, a spa treatment, or last-minute souvenir shopping at the local craft markets, before your afternoon transfer to the airstrip for your onward or international flight home.

What Our Guests Say
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.
