Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Swahili Culture

The Kenyan coast has a distinct Swahili culture influenced by centuries of Arab, Persian, and African exchange. Dress modestly when visiting villages and sacred sites. Learn "Habari" (hello), "Asante" (thank you), and "Karibu" (welcome).

Protect the Marine Environment

Do not stand on coral, collect shells, or touch marine life. Use reef-safe sunscreen only. Diani's reef is a fragile ecosystem that supports the entire coastal community — every piece of coral you break takes decades to regrow.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Diani Beach travel guide.
