Upper Colobus is the upstairs unit of a two-storey guest house, located within a beautiful family-owned property that is surrounded by indigenous forest, right on Diani Beach.

The apartment is decorated with traditional Swahili-style furniture and artefacts. It comprises two en-suite bedrooms, a lovely indoor sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen, small work desk and a large balcony overlooking the shared pool area. Upper Colobus has its own entrance/stairs.

​

​The two bedrooms have air conditioning as well as overhead and standing fans. In the event of a national power cut, our generator will only run the lights and fans. Power cuts are out of our control sadly.

Upper Colobus is surrounded by original 'coral rag forest' and there are only two types of this forest remaining in the world. Expect to see both vervet and sykes' monkeys swinging through the trees, while the more shy-natured Angolan colobus monkey will relax on branches above you. There are also plenty of squirrels, monitor lizards, bush babies, tortoise and one guinea fowl living within the forest. The front of the plot has palm trees and other coastal vegetation.

We are located close to all amenities, beach bars/restaurants, shops, banks, scuba diving, snorkelling trips, golf. Scuba diving facilities are are a few minutes walk along the beach, while a kite surfing school is located just outside our property, on the beach. The glass bottom boat trip to the reef and sandbank is highly recommended for snorkelling. We are happy to help you plan a trip to nearby Shimba Hills National Park.

We can also arrange for a brilliant masseuse to come to the house for massages as well as manicures and pedicures. If you require a chef, this can also be arranged - subject to availability and an extra cost of 2,000 Ksh per day.

Personal laundry can be done at a rate of Ksh 1,000 per load.
