About Ukunda
Diani Beach is located on the south coast of Kenya, known for its stunning white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. The local currency used is the Kenyan Shilling. The destination offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure with activities such as snorkeling, diving, and beach safaris. Visitors can also explore nearby attractions like Shimba Hills National Reserve and Colobus Conservation. The local cuisine is a mix of Swahili and international flavors, offering a unique culinary experience.
When to visit
The best time to visit Diani Beach is during the dry season from late December to March and July to October when the weather is sunny and perfect for beach activities. The rainy seasons are from April to June and November to mid-December, with occasional heavy downpours. It is advisable to avoid visiting during these periods to fully enjoy the beach and outdoor activities.
Getting around
Getting around Diani Beach is easy with options like taxis, tuk-tuks, and matatus (shared minivans). Renting a car or a scooter is also a convenient way to explore the area at your own pace. Walking or cycling along the beachfront is a popular choice for short distances, allowing visitors to soak in the scenic views and vibrant atmosphere.
Traveller tips
Make sure to pack sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong equatorial sun. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially during outdoor activities. Respect the local culture and customs by dressing modestly, particularly when visiting religious sites. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices for souvenirs and goods. Be cautious of petty theft and keep your belongings secure while exploring crowded areas.
