The beach is a mere 30 meters to the left or right of us and has easy steps down to a beautiful sandy and very quiet beach. Unlike the main Diani Beach we have no beach boys. Most of the time you will have the beach to yourself. There is great swimming when the tide is in. At low tide you can walk for miles along the reef finding many shallow pools to wallow in.
Over the last few months we have witnessed many turtle hatching's on our beach. Our resident guide Saidi is knowledgeable about the location and timings of all these events.
We also have the Starfish Island just a brief walk away and in the opposite direction the famous Tiwi Rock Pools.
Saidi, also the starfish caretaker would be happy to take you on a tour to see them both.
He is a real authority on the Star fish and the local Green Turtle.
His nominal charge of $5 per person for the tour must be the greatest value environmental tour in Kenya.
If you really wish to be pampered take chef Charles at $15 per day and pay him directly. Breakfast lunch and dinner. He can also do your minor shopping chores if you wish.
In addition we have a third party shopping service at $30 with a expansive online shopping list which you can complete and submit.
If you are arriving late or just wish everything to be ready on your arrival you can fill it in and everything will be bought for you and delivered to the kitchen.
You just pay when you get here.
If you wish we can also arrange for fresh seafood to be delivered for your arrival.
If you take the chef you might like to order in advance from the following.
All the above addresses for shopping and registration forms will be made available upon booking. Understandably Airbnb do not allow us to publish outside URLS till your booking is complete.
Please note we do not take credit cards.
Please also note that we will need at least two days notice to be able to do your shopping for you.

Other things to note
We can arrange trips to the local sandbars to see the starfish island or to the nearby famous Tiwi Rock pools.
Security: Please be aware that due to our business with Diplomatic missions and other NGO's we have a security policy that only allows accredited taxis/transfers onto our property. Tuk Tuks and unknown motor cycles (Boda Bodas) will not be given access to the interior. We pride ourselves on privacy.
Transfers
We have had on a number of occassions incidences when Tuk Tuks and taxis claim to know the way to our place.
They convieniently get lost and end up charging clients far more than the quoted fare.
Our own transfer vehicles and drivers have been with us for years, they know the way and we trust them completely.
Upon booking you will receive a factsheet with all transfer prices and lots more.
On the same property within the same walls we also have two luxury villas. They cannot be seen from the tent but should you wish to see them please check below.

Airbnb has a policy on bugs and insects. I doubt if there is anywhere in Africa or any other continent for that matter where you will not find some form of what we call Dudus. i.e Something that is small and moves or flies around. Could be anything from an ant to a grasshopper etc etc. At the moment there are swarms of locusts affecting the northern part of Kenya and our neighbours to the north Sudan and Somalia. We have not been affected here in any way but it is our duty as a host to inform guests of their existence.
Please also note the pool is not annexed to the front cliff top pool. The pool itself is for your sole use and not open to the public. The tent is set back in a much cooler environment surrounded by a tropical palm garden.
If you require any advice on day trips, safari or restaurant bookings we are here to help.
Safaris
Sabine and I have been in Kenya for a sum total of over 80 years and we always take our Safari to Satao Camp in Tsavo.
The camp is only 4 hours drive from our home.
Our latest trip was just recently. We went with guests and received this email in return.
Hi Mike
Just wanted to say how grateful to you we are for organizing our safari to Satao. It was an incredible experience.
This is the second time you’ve done this for us and we were absolutely delighted with our experience.
The camp was organized, friendly and as comfortable as we remembered.
It has a really lovely atmosphere and the staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant.
Our game drives were exceptional. Our driver, Timothy, from Southern Cross, was outstanding.
He was a safe and very experienced driver and his knowledge of the wildlife was incomparable.
I would highly recommend him to everyone. He was also polite, helpful and went out of his way to
find game we hadn’t seen and in the end we saw everything we could have wanted.
So, thank you so much. We will be back as soon as possible and would love to return to Satao.
Kind regards
Anne and Peter.
