Embark on this exciting 6-hour guided tour from Diani, where history, nature, and adventure come together for a unique coastal experience. Your journey begins with a tuk-tuk ride to the iconic Kongo Mosque, one of the oldest in East Africa, believed to date back to the 13th or 14th century. While visitors can’t enter the mosque, your guide will share fascinating details about its rich history and the role it played in the region’s Islamic heritage, giving you a glimpse into the past.
