Overview

Colobus Conservation nature walk and Diani Beach from Ukunda

Diani’s patches of coastal forest are home to the Angolan colobus monkey, and Colobus Conservation is the local organisation that works to protect the monkeys and their habitat. This half-day is the simplest and most affordable outing on our Ukunda list: a short guided walk, a chance to learn about the wildlife of the coast, and the rest of the time on the beach.

The nature walk

A guide leads you along forest trails and explains the colobus, other monkeys and the forest around them, and why the conservation work matters. Wildlife moves freely, so what you see changes from day to day and cannot be guaranteed. Entry or tour fees support the conservation work and are itemised in your quote.

Diani Beach afterwards

After the walk your driver takes you to Diani Beach, where you can swim, walk the sand or have lunch at a beachside restaurant, and then returns you to your hotel at the time you choose.

Keeping it budget-friendly

The programme is short, uses a standard vehicle and leaves meals and drinks to you, so the cost stays low. It works well for families, for the first or last day of a stay and for anyone who has already spent on a bigger excursion.

Good to know

Wear comfortable shoes, a hat, sun cream and insect repellent, and bring water. The walk is gentle, and we confirm the timing and fees in your written quote.

Frequently asked questions

Will we definitely see colobus monkeys?

Not guaranteed, because they are wild and move through the forest. Guides know where they are often found, and the walk is still worthwhile for the forest and the conservation story.

Is this suitable for children?

Yes. The walk is short and easy, and it is one of the better options for young children on this coast.

Can you collect us from our hotel or villa?

Yes. Tell us where you are staying in Ukunda, Diani, Galu Kinondo or Tiwi and we confirm the pickup time when you book.

Are entry fees included?

Entry fees, boat costs and meals are itemised in your written quote, because they change over time and depend on the size of your group.
