Sukuma House à Diani Beach

.Reading time 3 minutes.

Nous avions prévu de retourner à Diani en avril, puis comme tout le monde le sait, en avril on était tous chez nous et les frontières étaient fermées. J’avais trouvé cette charmante maison d’hôtes, Sukuma et quand on a décidé, un peu sur un coup de tête de s’envoler en septembre, ça faisait sens de recontacter notre hôte. Cette maison à l’architecture typiquement swahili m’avait tapée dans l’oeuil sur les photos et je ne fus pas déçue en la découvrant à notre arrivée.

Visit Diani Beach

.Reading time 9 minutes.

Diani Beach is a major beach resort on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya, it is located 30 kilometers south of Mombasa. It can be reached directly by plane, but from Kigali it was easy to have a flight to Mombasa , and then using the ferry and road to arrive at this small paradise .

This town was just a fishing place 40 years ago, but in the 70s when tourists wishing to come to Africa found Kenya the ideal place, as there was so much strife and problems in other African countries and it was the beginning of a touristic boom.  Hotels were built along the  coast road, which was at that time  a dusty road.  Since then Diani has continued to expend without losing its charm and simple atmosphere. You will not feel that you are in a very touristic area if you avoid the big hotels.

3 foodie spots in Nairobi

.Reading time 3 minutes.

Nairobi is definitely a food spot. This city is a mix of different cultures and you can feel it in the food scene . I didn’t have the opportunity to try a lot during my 48H-stay but these 3 places really worth a visit! 

The Tin roof café

There is so much things to say about this little place in the suburb of Nairobi. The old fashioned atmosphere is lovely. Metal chairs with floral cushions, comfy couch, old pictures framed on the wall, everything is inviting.

Boho Eatery

Located in the very residential area of Karen, Boho Eatery will offer you a lovely and serene space for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The place was well recommended and was totally worth the trip. Beautiful setting in a big and luxurious garden, with a lovely patio. You totally understand the name when you arrive there : a lovely bohemian atmosphere is the best way to describe the place.
