- In this video we explore the incredible Diani Beach. Probably the most beautiful place I have seen in Kenya so far.
There is only one thing that annoys me (and many other tourists coming to the coast of Kenya) and I will share it with you in this video.
I will also explore Shimba Hills area and Chale isand.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this video.
P.S. let me know in the comments below if you have ever been to Diani beach and share your experience below.
Best,
Gabi

I hope they can do something about this. Even as a Kenyan traveller sometimes when I go to the beach I feel overwhelmed by people who don’t take no for an answer.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful side of Keyna, never seen before.
My pleasure.. it’s stunning
Hi I've been there and you are totally right ! Most beautiful Beach I've ever seen
As always-Thank you for your wonderful video.
The white sandy beaches are just like the Maldives, for a fraction of the cost. (The coconut should have been ksh 100. Disappointing to see the locals take advantage of the tourists).
i have never been to Diani beach but i do think it is stunningly beautiful!!
Kenya in a small country but there is so much diversity in the landscape, it is just a very beautiful country! The locals are so much more friendly and kids all smile in Kenya. (Unfortunately the tourists have spoiled the kids offering them money and chocolates etc, so they ask for it now). The Tourism Ministry needs to fix the problem with the harassing and intimidating hawkers.
Yes that’s true.. thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
This video got me hooked, and now I’m determined to become a billionaire in just two years! 💪💰
That's great! I'm motivated too! How can we achieve this challenge?

For me,I would say Gold are profitable but Crypto has been the best so far
The best beach I have ever seen, yes the beach boys are irritating, I learned "sonar pesa" I have no money and "la asante" No thank you, it worked.
Week ago back to Europe, Lithuania. Had a week holiday in Malindi. Your point about beach boys, is very important and i don't understand, why goverment do not solved this problem. As you say lots of tourists stay in hotels, go to safari or other activities with guides, but avoided to go alone in beach, because of this sellers. Its very sad that you can't go 10 metters from hotel to ocean because near your hotels always, waiting 10-15 beach boys. Of course thei do not hurt, but still its not nice feeling, to reapet 50 times NO, while going 10 metters from hotel to ocean and back.
I agree they must lose tourists because of this. It would definitely put me off going there on holiday even though it does look beautiful
find a local girlfriend, they act as power shields against beach boys. been there, tried it and it works!
The beach boys are a very strong voting block such that the local politicians don't want to annoy them. If not on the beach they would be robbing and stabbing people.
Beautiful. Love that resort overlooking the Savanah. Thanks from Australia 👍
Amazing ❤gratitude ❤️ dear Gabi. Thank you very much bringing us there 🐲🎐💛💛💛💛💛
Your work is inspiring. I love your creative process.
Hi Gabi, greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Waw.... that white sand besch and clean water.... just wonderful.❤
Yes 🤩
Oh wow! a long stretch of white sand beach and contrast with the clear blue-green sea, It's so beautiful.🌅🌴
Drive safely on a nice day, Khun Gabi.
Yes so beautiful 🤩
Nice....Thank you Gabi
Your videos are so beautiful! Thxs,!
Great ride, Gabi. I'm really enjoying your podcast. Salute from Marcelo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
I always watch your videos, sometimes if I don't have time to watch, I download your videos. I am very impressed by your videos. I pray for you that you will go further.
Thank you so much for posting this video! It Brings me memories of my Kenya trip in 1998!!! I have been at the whitesands it was indeed soooo beautiful. I have travelled the whole country for Months and I am so grateful for your wonderful videos! I hope you can visit Lamu one day…. You can go from the “open” AirPort with a dow to the village or the White Beach. Enjoy! Bless you, love from Amsterdam, the Netherlands 💚🙏🏼🍀
Wow!
Hi Gabi, me and my family were just in Diani too. As you said,the beach looks like paradise, BUT, as soon as your feet touch the sand you are hounded by the salesmen. If you tell them no, they walk alongside you still trying to sell to you, if you tell them you have no money on you they then ask you for food and if you say no to that we even got asked to give them our clothes. I tried telling some of them that this was my first holiday in 5 years and they were spoiling it for me and my family,but they just kept going and going. Really detracted from our stay and we will NEVER return because of this. Sad but true. Cheers Mark and Jane.
Hey buddy, long time and happy new year very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Thank you :) happy new year
@@ridewithgabi 🤗🤗my pleasure.
Best Travel Vlogger 👍🏻
Take Care and Enjoy Sir Gabi❤❤❤
Beautiful
Hi Gabi. It looks so beautiful but unfortunately not a destination for me, but it's nice to follow you on your excursions, you meet people of all kinds in many places with different destinies, so nice to see. Take care and don't forget your helmet. 👍🫶
😊 I enjoy Gabbi,beautiful place of Kenya always be safe and pray for your adventure ❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Gosh, the man who ripped you off by not giving you change!! We have had no change in both Bali and Thailand, many times. We have never been ripped off, the change has always appeared. Yes, it makes you lose your faith in humanity a bit. I love all your videos. We are off to India for the first time next week - partly because we have watched so many of your videos, there and everywhere. We will investigate going to Kenya when we get back (to Perth, Western Australia).
agree, nver been ripped of in Thailand
That’s nice to hear, enjoy your time in India 🙏🏻😉
@@ridewithgabi it really makes you appreciate the Thai people. they have suffered immensely during lockdowns, collapsing tourist industry, widespread poverty. and yet they always welcome you with a smile, and never rip you off or steal. extraordinary people
I mean you say lose your faith in humanity. But the ones you should be losing faith in are the ones who run the country and don’t give adequate education and adequate chances for people like them who end up in a life like this. Imagine how much money that is to them compared to how much money it is for Gabi. I’m sure he has a family and kids he’s struggling to support. Far worse crimes out there commited with far less reason. Wait till you get to India mate I’ve been and you need to have your senses on high alert.
@@dedede9664
Thai people never rip you off or steal? Aren't you being a little delusional? There's lots of You tube videos on how Thais are scamming tourists. Thais can be just as much of a thief as in Kenya
In every market there is a mad man.That was quite unfortunate.Anyway the rest of your exploration was amazing.
I visited Diani Beach in December 2020 and gad a similar reaction to its beauty and lush white sand. I dined at Howards, which looks like the place you were dining at too. In January 2021 i visited Mombasa and enjoyed that as well. Im yet ti visit Watamu. That motorcycle rental is priced well ($10/day) i may get that next time i visit. New sub loving the content. That coconut vendor did give that place a bad vibe and i agree something needs to be done about that aspect. Kenya is a beautiful country and beaches overall, cant wait to return.
You are the best
Oh, beautiful beaches, but how sad and cruel in this world, that those people are extremely poor. ❤❤❤
Nice video
Waooooh am from Kenya around Chale beach❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ welcome my back ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been there 2 times. And yes it’s beautiful.
Sorry, to hear about the guy with the coconuts. Hopefully he will put that money to good use to uplift himself and his family. Let's hope.
Unfortunately there are always those scammers that accumulate at any of the tourist areas in the world trying to take advantage of the tourists.
It would be good if tourists would complain to the Tourism Ministry about these hawkers and their harassment.
Hopefully a Kenyan/journalist can use your video to point out the problem to the Ministry so that they can do something about it.
I saw it happening Zanzibar to YT vloggers and it looked very bad, i didn't know it was also happening in Kenya. Not good. Tourists come for a nice peaceful holiday.
Yes, i can see why Tourists would not want to return to Kenya with the constant harassment. And so many livelihoods are dependent on Tourism.
You could have stayed at Golden Beach Resort while in Diani. Just like Cowrieshell Beach Apartments which you stayed in, that's also one of my works.
Maybe i one day I'll take you to the street and experience the culture not all days you come and just go to good places but it's good to vist all the places and have mind blowing adventures🙂😎
I totally concur with you about the behaviour of the beach boys.
Having been to Mombasa several times (work) I can definitely confirm some are a complete pain. They pester the women in a very leery way, persist in getting you to buy their wares and just won’t take no for an answer. They can really spoil an otherwise nice experience.
Gabi is like Tommy Vercetti from Vice City and his friend Federico is like Ken Rosenberg and Lance Vance popping up out of nowhere ready for a new mission.Keep Federico in your next travels
🤣🤣🤣
Meraviglia
I love it when a foreigner asks for prices n the service provider is honest ..... no weird figures hullabaloo
It looks amazing there. It's a shame that people want to scam you and be dishonest because it just discourages others from coming there and reduces all of their future incomes a bit. Very short term thinking - normal behavior for most people in the world to be honest.
Hi gabi . i see u used my drone footage. where di u get my footage? anyway nice vlog.
Come back here to the Philippines and I will be your tour guide
I'm Kenyan and also find the beach boys irritating when I visit the beach.
Yes 😢
TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME GABI. THE LIONS WOULD EAT ME ! 😂 🤣 😂
😂😂
Insularity is a form of self-imposed imprisonment. Fyi
heyyyy
Beautiful, what is the beach ( Name the beach) at 5:56 minute please ? 😍
There is no risk to travel with motorbike fro. North to South Coast. Even crossing by ferry: no problem!
How much did you pay for that swimming pool?? And in which season u traveled there?
Hi Gabi, where can I find then boat service you used please ? Greetings 👋 😊
The guy Omar is standing with his boat in front of Galu gateway resort
Wish you tried Watamu
I was there before. Check my previous video 😉
Gabi.... summer is arriving here. When you're coming back to INDIA 🇮🇳? LET me know
I don’t have any plans to come back to India for now. Maybe later in the year 😉
It looks like you are falling in love with Kenya, Gabi. It is a beautiful country. I am sure you miss Plou, hopefully you can return with Plou and have a wonderful time without worrying about posting videos to YT. If I were to guess Thailand and Kenya must be your two favorite places.
I like Kenya a lot too, but it is a little more expensive. I love nature and wildlife and Kenya has incredible places like Masai Mara and Ambosi National Parks - the only true Garden of Eden. I also like that they do have many different religious groups and no one religion dominating everything.
I am not a religious guy, as i see religion as an instrument that divides people, more than it unites, and each community feels their religion is more superior to another.
I do like the Buddhists even though i was raised Christian. They let people live their lives, unlike other cultures that have a place of worship on every corner, radical hate groups, or call to prayers constantly or revered animals on the streets all over the place. I dislike it completely. And then there are the politicians who use these religious communities to attack another community and sadly people get killed all over the world. It is very dangerous to mix politics and religion but that happens a lot in Asian countries.
Thank you for sharing. Yes Kenya and Thailand are definitely some of my favourite places in the world. I am answering this comment while being in Thailand with Ploy 😉
Hey Gabi how do I use music on my videos without getting copyright clains😢
Hey Gabi. I’m looking into going to Kenya but I am afraid of catching malaria. Is it safe to travel to Kenya during May regarding malaria mosquitoes?
There are certains tablets you can take before heading to coast side I don't know the name..but you can get them at a chemist
The Good Karma Hospital was filmed in Kenya on the beach side just lovely in Kenya far better coast then India.
What is the cost to take a taxi from Mombasa to Diana beach?
Somebody knows what about Gabi? Is he still traveling? I did not hear him so long 😢
Are there places where you shouldn’t park your bike , so it doesn’t get stolen
Why did you leave India do quickly
Fault is yours that the guy ran away with the money, that's experience! Was living in Colombia like for a lot, you don't ever do that, always ask first for the price and... if they have change. Always negociate.
Which country is this?
Tourists are misused from beachboys. A coconut cost 100 ksh.
I was there in June, The water was still clear. I stayed in an Airbnb right by the beach. The beach boys would take coconut from the yard and try to sell them to tourist for 100 bob. Very annoying but I gave them a stern, No thank you.
I am from Europe and I spent few days on this beach on my holiday. I must say that beach is very beautiful, but most of beach boys are so annoying and you can't be relaxed while you are on this beach. I hope that Kenyan government can solve this problem, because tourists can't relax and have nice beach holidays. Not all beach boys are annoying, for example Masai people are polite and when you say no, they just leave you alone.
Where are you from? You look so much like my uncle and cousin, so just curious.
I was there years ago, couldn't cope with the food, it was so greasy in our hotel, I lost 6 kg in 2 weeks
Then i should go to kenya for 4 weeks.. ill bcome a bodybuilder@
Dann hatten sie Glück abzunehmen.
Wir haben im Urlaub in einem schönen Hotel am Diani Beach zugenommen.
Das Essen war vielseitig und sehr schmackhaft.
Frische Ananas und Mangos superlecker.
Das Fleisch, Osambuco mager und zart.
Salate in verschiedenster Ausführung.
Hibiskussaft oder Saft von Tamarinde frisch und gesund.
Das Essen war definitiv gesünder als in Deutschland.
Sorry for the issue with the beach boy but why couldn't you use Mpesa? That way you would have avoided being conned.
Not everyone is a nice person that is why we all should be cautious.
Das Problem mit den Strandjungen ist nicht nur der Preis.
Man wird auf dem kurzen Weg vom Hotel über den breiten Strand ins Wasser mehrmals von verschiedenen Strandjungen angesprochen.
Sie wollen alles verkaufen, von Ketten bis zur Safari.
Wenn sie im Wasser Seeigel und Seegurken zeigen, wollen sie auch Geld.
Man kann als Tourist keinen Strandspaziergang an diesem wunderschönen Strand machen.
Vor jedem Hotel entlang des Strandes lauern andere Strandjungen.
Jeder Strandjunge hat seinen Bereich vor den Hotels.
Also wird man alle paar Meter angesprochen.
Das ist wirklich ein großes Problem und hat auch unseren Urlaub beeinträchtigt.
I wouldn't give South East Asia beaches for any of these in Kenya 🙃
I am hoping and praying since years that they regulate the “problem” with the annoying beach boys… first time i went to Diani and stayed at the same place for a month. Literally every day i got asked from the same beach boys to buy something. Very annoying 😑
Beach boys dont give you a time to enjoy the beach
Ex Two Fishes Hotel 11:17
Sorry brother. They not only bother tourists even we locals whenever we come for a vacation at the resort is the same case. And if you don’t buy them they abuse you and telling you annoying words. Though still Diani is the best place to be. ❤
I have never been insulted but they do bug you like flies....they have chased away almost all foreign tourists from the beaches
They really charge tourist prices there! Dollar signs in the eyes... ^^
1,70 € for a coconút, hilarious...
I agree the beachboys are too nagging unless you are firm with them especially if you are white or obviously a visitor.
which country is thiswhich country is thiswhich country is thiswhich country is thiswhich country is thiswhich country is thiswhich country is thiswhich country is thiswhich country is this
Lol, the coconut is not even Ksh. 300 it's actually Ksh. 100
Mzungu prices. Sad.
Even govts charge “mzungu prices” all over the world and call it non resident fees. Its a type of discrimination. The beach boy issue is out of control though. You are the first vlogger that I have seen address it with a serious tone.
Thank you!
@@kumbukamambo6986 They have destroyed the Kenyan coast, even as a local I detest them.
You are as much to blame for the loss of 1k as the vendor. He probably sells two or three cocnuts a day @100/= and you gave him 3 days wages. That's too much temptation especially since he knows you can afford to lose that amount. Your naivety cost you
Sadly its not the same when I was growing up.
Now there is a lot of cross border terrorism from Somalia
In Diani? Diani is so far from the Somali border.
there were occasional incursions into Lamu and Malindi in the past, never in these parts. Sour grapes?
Mombasa old town tourism collapsed by about 90%.The terrorism is by local boys not Somalis.
@@Pmooli No terrorist incidents in Mombasa for over 15 years.
Beach boys is problem also to Zanzibar....
