Your very private beach holiday resort… away from the “tourist track”
Area description
The property is situated in Msambweni in Kwale, a costal province in Kenya. Mombasa, Kenya`s second largest city, is approx. 50 km. north of Kaskazi Beach House.
The best beaches in Kenya are here on the south coast. We are located directly on the beach front. The climate is perfect, normally between 26 and 32 C all year, with a mild breeze from the sea. Water temperature normally around 22 – 25 C. It is normally sunny all year, except April to June where there may be some rainy days. There could also be a short rain (maybe an hour) at other times of the year too, but normally not for long. Because of the nice, warm climate, we avoid noicy aircondition (but all rooms has fans, if you want to use them).
Diani, a well known tourist resort, is situated approx. 20 km. north of Kaskazi Beach House. In Diani you will find all tourist facilities, hotels, banks, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and modern hospitals. A superb 18 holes golf course is at your disposal. We have some golf-sets that you can borrow from us, if you want to go there. We can assist in arranging transport.
Behind the long, coral-white beaches are the green hills of Shimba Hills game reserve, a tropical, jungle reserve overlooking the ocean. A true wonder.
Approx. 20 km south of Kaskazi is the Lunga Lunga border crossing to Tanzania. Before you get to the boarder, you can visit the Kisite Marine park and Wasini Island – where you can snorkel on coral reefs, and see dolphins.
The property of Kaskazi Beach House is situated close to the village Msambweni. Here the friendly Digo tribe live in their traditional houses. The area is completly safe. There are a few small, local restaurants nearby the village.
There are only a few houses on the approx 2 km. stretch of beach. The few small, secluded tourist units (no mass tourism) are among the most “up-market” destinations in Kenya. The Msambweni beach has (in one of the largest travel magazines) been described as the “secret treasure” of Kenya.
