Kwale Coast

Pristine beaches and turquoise waters line Kenya's southern coast around Kwale, offering the perfect way to unwind after days on safari. Diani Beach, one of Africa's most celebrated stretches of coastline, combines powder-white sand with a living coral reef just offshore, ideal for snorkelling, diving and dhow sailing trips. The region is also home to the Shimba Hills National Reserve, one of the only places in Kenya to see the rare sable antelope, and to coastal forests rich in birdlife and butterflies. Warm Indian Ocean waters, fresh seafood, and a laid-back Swahili coast atmosphere make Kwale a popular add-on to combine a safari with a beach holiday.
