The Tsavo safari, transfers and accommodation are arranged by our partner Dacha Diani. Scuba Duka plans and runs the diving, including the optional Kisite–Mpunguti day.
Frequently asked questions
How does the safari fit around the diving?
The safari comes first, on days 02–04, by road to Tsavo (about 3.5 hours each way). Diving is on days 05–07, which leaves two free days before you fly home.
Where do I stay?
At Dacha Diani in Diani, bed only, and at the lodge in Tsavo on full board.
Which airport do I fly into?
Moi International Airport, Mombasa. You are met there and transferred to Diani Beach.
