  • Safari

    I met Safari our first day at the beach in Diani. After attempting to sit in the sun for all of about 10 minutes I headed to the shade where it was mostly bearable. I was sitting reading a book when he came up and sat beside me. We chatted for a little bit, I Read more

  • The Places You’ll Go & The People You’ll Meet

    As much as I loved Diani Beach, the sand, sun and lovely temperatures, there was another side to the life most people on the beach lead. We’ve become quite used to having people try to sell us things, world over, so much so that we often just say ‘no thank you’ to people as we Read more
