Paradise Explorer — 5 nights

Wiplan Holidays made our honeymoon absolutely magical. Diani Beach was everything we dreamed of — the powdery white sand, the turquoise water, and the stunning resort they chose for us. Every detail was taken care of and we didn’t have to stress about a thing.

Beach Escape — 3 nights

We booked the Beach Escape package for school holidays and the kids had an absolute blast. The dhow cruise was their favourite part. Wiplan’s team was responsive from start to finish. We’re already planning our next trip with them!

OD

Nairobi, Kenya
Ultimate Diani — 7 nights

I’ve travelled extensively across Africa, and Diani Beach ranks among the finest coastal destinations I’ve visited. The Ultimate package covered kitesurfing lessons, a deep-sea fishing trip, and a personal guide. Exceptional value and impeccable service throughout.

Marcus Reitmann

Paradise Explorer — 5 nights

I was sceptical about booking through a smaller agency, but Wiplan exceeded all expectations. The Colobus monkey sanctuary and the sunset dhow cruise were once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I’ve since recommended them to five friends who’ve all had equally wonderful trips.

The team at Wiplan was warm, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Our villa was spotless, the food was incredible, and the beach itself felt like something from a postcard. We will absolutely be back next year!

As a solo traveller, safety and reliability matter most to me. Wiplan’s team kept in constant contact, the transfers were always on time, and I never once felt unsafe or lost. Diani is a slice of paradise — I’m already counting down to my return!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking your Diani Beach holiday with Wiplan.

What is the best time of year to visit Diani Beach?
Diani is beautiful year-round, but the peak season runs December to March and July to September when the weather is dry, warm, and sunny. The 'long rains' fall in April–June, while November brings short rains. Even during rainy periods, showers are typically brief and the beach remains enjoyable.
Are flights from Nairobi included in all packages?
Yes — all three of our holiday packages include return flights between Nairobi (Wilson Airport) and Ukunda Airstrip in Diani. The flight takes approximately 45 minutes. If you're flying in from outside Kenya, we can arrange a seamless connection through Mombasa (MBA) or Nairobi (NBO).
Can you arrange a custom or group itinerary?
Absolutely. We specialise in bespoke and group travel. Whether you need a honeymoon retreat, a corporate incentive trip, a family reunion, or a school travel package, our team will build a tailor-made itinerary to match your group's size, budget, and interests.
Is Diani Beach safe for solo travellers and families?
Diani is considered one of the safest beach destinations in East Africa. It is a well-established tourism area with a strong local community, reliable security, and well-lit streets. Solo travellers — including women — and families with young children regularly visit and report feeling very safe throughout their stays.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept M-Pesa, bank transfers (KES, USD, EUR, GBP), Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards, and online payment links. A deposit of 30% secures your booking, with the balance due 21 days before travel. Flexible instalment plans are available on request.
Do I need a visa to enter Kenya?
Kenya operates an eVisa system. Most nationalities can apply online at evisa.go.ke before travelling. East African Community citizens (Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, DRC) do not require a visa. We recommend checking with your nearest Kenyan embassy for the latest requirements for your nationality.
Are water activities and excursions included in packages?
Inclusions vary by package. The Beach Escape includes a welcome sundowner cruise. The Paradise Explorer adds a snorkelling day trip and sunset dhow cruise. The Ultimate Diani package includes kitesurfing lessons, deep-sea fishing, a Colobus sanctuary visit, and a cultural village tour. Additional excursions can be added to any package.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancellation and rescheduling terms depend on airlines, hotels, and season. We always advise confirming the applicable terms before payment.
