Kwale

A resort destination on Kenya's south coast, combining the white sands of Diani Beach, coral-reef marine parks and a forest reserve in the hills.

Kwale County lies on Kenya's southeast coast, bordering Tanzania to the south and facing Mombasa across the Likoni Channel to the north. Diani Beach is known for its fine white sand and clear Indian Ocean waters, and is one of East Africa's best-known seaside resorts, with diving, snorkeling and kitesurfing. Near Shimoni in the south, Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park offers boat trips to see dolphins and visit Wasini Island, while inland, Shimba Hills National Reserve is home to sable antelope and other wildlife. The dry seasons (roughly Jun–Oct and Dec–Mar) are the best time to visit; arrive via Mombasa or Ukunda Airport.
