Coast
>> Lamu
 The
coastline south of Mombasa is a tropical paradise of palm fringed
white sand beaches, where the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean
meet beautiful coral reefs.
The protective reefs have
created ideal beaches with calm, inviting waters. Days are filled
with sunshine and nights are balmy and warm with gentle sea breezes.
The offshore reefs are alive with coral, myriad fish, sea
turtles and dolphins. Both outer and inner reef walls offer world
class diving with spectacular coral gardens and drop offs. At
Kisite-Mpunguti, a Marine Reserve has been established around
beautiful Wasini Island, an ideal day trip for divers and
snorkellers.
 The
beaches are bordered by lush green coastal rainforests with prolific
birdlife and variety of wildlife including baboons, rare colobus
monkeys and even leopard.
A wide range of World Class
resorts, centred around Diani Beach allow visitors to relax and
enjoy this natural paradise with the best standards of
accommodation, service and cuisine.
The south coast also
has many smaller quiet getaways such as Tiwi Beach, ideal for
travellers looking for a low key break. |
