South Coast of Kenya

including Diani Beach, Mt Kasigau, and Tsavo East and West National Parks.

Diani Beach & Tsavo 

The National Parks of Tsavo East and West, located within the Tsavo savannah, are some of the oldest and largest parks in all of Kenya. Situated in a semi-arid area, Tsavo is home to most of the larger mammals, vast herds of dust-red elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, pods of hippo, and crocodile. This, along with the 300 kilometer long Yatta Plateau, the longest lava flow in the world, make for an adventure unlike any other.

Nearby on the Indian Ocean, Diani Beach boasts one of the most gorgeous coastlines in the world. With white sand beaches, Diani Beach is located 30 kilometers south of Mombasa and nearby to Tsavo. It has been voted Africa's leading beach destination for the fifth time running since 2015. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery that consists of deep blue and clear waters and stunning coral reefs.
