Sun, Soul, and Swahili Heritage
The Kenyan coast is a 500-kilometer stretch of white-sand paradise lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. From the historic spice-scented streets of Old Town Mombasa to the turquoise lagoons of Diani and the deep-sea fishing mecca of Malindi, this region offers a perfect tropical finale to any safari adventure.

Best time to visit
-
The Season of Calm & Clarity: During the drier months, the ocean is at its most transparent. The „Kaskazi“ northwind blows gently, making this the peak time for scuba diving and snorkeling in the coral gardens, as underwater visibility is at its maximum.
-
The Rejuvenation Season: As the rains refresh the coastal forests, the landscape turns a deep, vivid green. The „Kuzi“ southwind brings a cooler breeze, making it a favorite time for those who enjoy long beach walks in a relaxed, quiet atmosphere away from the high-season buzz.
-
The Adventure & Kitesurfing Season: At specific intervals throughout the year, the winds pick up, turning the shores of Diani and Malindi into global hotspots for kitesurfing and windsurfing. This is the most high-energy time at the coast, filled with color and action on the water.
