Diani Beach
Voted "Africa’s Leading Beach Destination 2014" at the recently concluded World Travel Awards, Diani Beach on the South Coast is the jewel in Kenya’s crown. Ten kilometres of palm-fringed coastline meets the calm, warm waters of the Indian Ocean creating a picture-postcard holiday destination. |

Pure Adventure
There’s so much more to Diani than just miles of perfect beach and award-winning resorts. The coral reef ensures calm waters, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and diving as well as range of water-sports including big-game fishing, windsurfing, sailing and Kenya’s latest craze, kitesurfing. |

Shimba Hills – Home of the Sable Antelope
Inland, the Shimba Hills National Reserve is one of the last few remaining coastal rainforests in the world. It is an important area for plant biodiversity – over 50% of the rare plants in Kenya are found in the Shimba Hills, including some endangered species of cycad and orchids. Shimba Hills is best known for Kenya’s only population of Sable Antelope. This beautiful creature with its majestic scimitar-shaped horns is a threatened species with only 75,000 left in the wild. |

Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary
Situated just to the north of Shimba Hills, Mwalunganje Elephant Sanctuary was established to provide a dispersal area for elephants to move from the Reserve to neighbouring forests and onwards to Tsavo. The sanctuary is a successful partnership between land owners and conservationists, reducing human-wildlife conflict and allowing the elephant population to thrive. |

Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth, supporting more species per unit area than any other marine environment. The Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park and Reserve is a sanctuary where the coral reef is totally protected ensuring that the surrounding waters are replenished for the benefit of the ecosystem and the communities that depend on it. |

Wasini Island
The idyllic Wasini Island is a popular day-trip for guests staying on Diani where dhow sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling and the ever popular dolphin spotting are just a few of the activities on offer. |
