Traveling to Diani has always been of consequence and never intentional enough. This year I got to take a three-day trip as a break from a crazy schedule.

Watamu, Kilifi County

No crowds, peaceful beach walks and just about the best bargains you could get. Watamu is located 108km from Mombasa and about 30 minutes from Malindi.
