Overview
About Almanara Luxury Villas
Almanara is a privately owned luxury coastal retreat on the white sands of Diani Beach, south of Mombasa in Kenya, set among swaying palms and tropical gardens. The property offers an exclusive collection of private Garden Villas, a five-bedroom Boutique Hotel (Casa Bella), and the newly added beachfront Residence Villas, all fully serviced with personal chefs and housekeeping staff. Guests can enjoy fine dining at Sails Beach Bar & Restaurant, which serves locally sourced seafood and coastal cuisine directly on the sand overlooking the Indian Ocean.
“We love Almanara for a family or a group of friends who want a beach house with its own chef and none of the work. Three bedrooms, all meals and house drinks make for easy, relaxed living on the Diani coast.”

Crossing the Border Between Tanzania and Kenya on a Migration Safari: The Complete Logistics Guide
There is no direct crossing between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. This guide explains exactly how the border works, which crossing to use, what documents you need as an Australian traveller, and whether it is worth driving at all.

Everything Australian travellers need for Kenya — the eTA, money and M-Pesa, malaria and yellow-fever rules, the Great Migration's timing in the Masai Mara, when to go, and how to get around. The practical groundwork, so you can focus on the safari.
