Shambani Cottages, in detail
Overview Of Shambani Cottages
Shambani Cottages are what holidays dreams are made of! A collection of three cottages and two villas in private grounds on the edge of Diani resort, these traditionally made properties will give you a true African experience. Although not located on the beach they have beautiful tropical gardens with five bicentenary baobabs and a lovely pool area. The beach is just across the road but it is safer to go down to the centre at Nomads for kitesurfing. This is a real favourite with Planet staff!
Accommodation At Shambani Cottages
The Shambani houses are completely equipped. The kitchen is provided with a refrigerator, oven and toaster. The bedrooms are equipped with linen and towels. The beds are protected with wide mosquito-nets and each room is equipped with a ventilator.
Simba Cottage, Mamba Cottage, Twiga Cottage and Kidigo Cottage are all roofed in makuti, but they are of different sizes in order to satisfy various requirements.
Flamboyant villa and Baobab villa follow this construction style in which the roofs are replaced by big terraces used to collect water during the rainy season and the windows are placed in the direction of the Nord East monsoon to get the benefit from the sea-breezes in the hotter seasons.
Drink & Dine
If you wish to enjoy your holiday more, along with the sea produce which is brought to the beach each morning by the fishermen, we suggest you ask for a cook, available at a little extra-charge.

Guide prices only. Your exact quote is built from live flight and hotel rates for your dates.
We lose sleep so you don’t.
We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.
Your money goes into trust
Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.
We book it all, and then check it
Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.
We call you before you go
Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.
We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away
Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.
