Diani, Kenya is a stunning coastal town, known for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. Every year, thousands of tourists visit this tropical paradise to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the town. Despite its reputation as a luxurious destination, Diani can be enjoyed on any budget! In this article, we’ll share some tips and recommendations for getting the most out of your trip to Diani. We’ll discuss how to get there, things to do and see, foods you should try, where to stay, and tips for visiting.
How to Get There
Although Diani is located in the southeastern corner of Kenya, it is fairly easy to get to. For most travelers, you will be starting in Nairobi. There is a small airstrip near Diani, so it is possible to fly directly there. However, most people will travel to Mombasa first.
Mombasa is Kenya’s largest coastal city. From Nairobi to Mombasa, you can either fly or take the train. I recommend taking the train, because it is very cheap and you’ll be able to see more of the country.
Once you’re in Mombasa, you can take public or private transportation to Diani. The whole trip will take 45 minutes to an hour. This includes crossing the Kilindini Harbor on the Likoni Ferry. Luckily, this is free of charge.
I rode in a tuk-tuk from Mombasa to Diani and it was a cheap and easy way to get there.
Things to See and Do
While there is plenty to see and do in Diani, here are our recommended top 5!

You can lounge at the beach or by the pool without having to spend the night at the resort. This is great for budget travelers like me who want to experience luxury without having to pay for it.
