Places

Diani Beach, Tsavo, Mombasa

Overview

What this journey is.

The beach is the point, and the safari is short enough that it does not swallow the week. You begin in Mombasa, settle on Diani, and add Tsavo West so the trip is coast and bush in one Kenya plan. Afternoons on Diani stay empty on purpose.
