Parks & Nature

This indigenous coral rag forest (one of 7 remaining in the world) used to be home to one clan of the Digo, the local people of the area, and the walk through it is atmospheric and fascinating. 90% of the forest plants have a traditional use and many species are indigenous to this area.

A trip with Pili Pippa on a dhow to snorkel or dive in the marine park, followed by a Swahili seafood lunch is a great day out. It is a long day so may not be suitable for very young children.

Neighborhoods

This beach is a continuation of Diani Beach but there is only one large hotel so it does not feel like a tourist resort. The fishermen still use their dug out canoes to land fish and the atmosphere is laid back.
