Kenya; an Expert guide to the Kenyan Coast and lodges

The Kenya coastline has long been known to both Kenyans and colonials alike and, during the 80s cultivated a reputation as an untouched and exotic paradise only travelled to by the most adventurous European traveler. Unfortunately, in today’s global society and cheap airfares, this has changed somewhat with the coastlines to the north and south of Mombassa being highly developed. It is still possible to find secluded enclaves, however, and, in keeping with the improvements in standard of safari lodges, there are now some very exclusive and hidden lodges dotted discreetly along the coast.

The south coast stretches approximately 100 kilometres out to the Tanzanian border. The most famous of its beaches beach being Diani, a truly awe-inspiring stretch of white powder beach which has steadily become more and more popular and developed. Beyond Diani is Shimba, possibly the best basing point for fishing and diving on the Kenyan coast.

The coast to the north, runs up to Malindi and then undeveloped until the Somali border and is ideal for those looking to disappear. The region around Malindi and Watamu is, similar to Diani, both stunningly beautiful and beginning to become very built up, but there are still small villas and lodges that have kept a feeling of seclusion.
