Diani Beach Signature Escape

Your coastal escape begins bright and early with a comfortable transfer from your Nairobi residence to the SGR Terminus in Syokimau. There, you'll board the Madaraka Express—Kenya’s modern standard gauge railway—for a scenic 6-hour journey through the heart of the countryside. Sit back and enjoy panoramic views of rolling hills, acacia-dotted plains, wildlife in Tsavo, and rural towns along the way.

Upon arrival at the Mombasa Terminus, you’ll be warmly received by our representative who will guide you through a picturesque 2 to 2.5-hour road transfer to Diani. The journey includes a ride across the historic Likoni Ferry, offering your first glimpse of the Indian Ocean as you cross into Mombasa Island and onward to the southern coast.

Check in at Simba + Oryx Beach Hotel, your serene beachfront haven nestled along the pristine shores of Diani. Let the stress of the city melt away as you breathe in the salty ocean air, take a leisurely walk along the soft, white sands, or relax in the hotel’s lush tropical gardens.

Tonight, fall asleep to the gentle rhythm of the waves—your beach holiday has just begun.

Wake up to the gentle rhythm of the ocean and enjoy a relaxed beachfront breakfast as the sun rises over Diani Beach. The day unfolds at your own pace, inviting you to slow down and embrace the calm of Kenya’s south coast. Spend your morning unwinding by the pool, taking a barefoot walk along the soft white sands, or simply relaxing beneath the shade of swaying palms as the ocean breeze drifts in.

If you feel like exploring, a range of optional experiences awaits. You can head out to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park for snorkeling or a glass-bottom boat ride, where coral reefs and colorful marine life create a vibrant underwater world. A visit to Colobus Conservation offers a meaningful encounter with conservation efforts protecting the rare Angolan colobus monkeys. Alternatively, enjoy water sports such as jet skiing, paddleboarding, or kitesurfing, or simply end the day with a peaceful sunset dhow cruise along the coastline.

Another serene morning begins with the sound of waves and a fresh coastal breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean. Today offers another opportunity to experience Diani in your own way—whether that means continued relaxation or venturing a little further afield. You might choose to spend the day soaking up the sun, enjoying the quiet rhythm of the beach, or indulging in a refreshing swim in the warm turquoise waters.

For a more adventurous option, consider a boat excursion to a secluded sandbank, where you can enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by the ocean. You may also explore local markets and curio shops, discovering handcrafted souvenirs and Swahili artistry. For those seeking a change of scenery, an optional visit to Shimba Hills National Reserve offers a refreshing contrast, with lush coastal forest, wildlife sightings, and the scenic beauty of Sheldrick Falls.

As the day winds down, return to the calm of the coast and take in one last glowing sunset over the ocean, a perfect close to your beach escape.

By midday, check out of the hotel and begin your transfer back to the Mombasa SGR Terminus. The scenic route takes you across the Likoni Ferry, offering one last view of the sparkling Indian Ocean and the bustling port life of Mombasa Island.

Arrive at the SGR station in time to board the train for your return journey to Nairobi, a comfortable and relaxing ride of approximately 6 hours. As the landscape shifts from coastal palms to the savannahs of the interior, you’ll carry with you lasting memories of your time by the sea.
