Description

Discover the African Pool, a breathtaking natural tidal pool along the unspoiled shores of Tiwi Beach, just north of Diani on Kenya’s South Coast. This unique pool has become one of the region’s most iconic attractions because of its extraordinary shape and natural beauty. When the tide is low, the reef reveals a perfectly carved pool in the outline of Africa, giving it its name. Visitors are often amazed at how precise the shape resembles the continent. The pool fills with clean turquoise water during high tide and remains calm and transparent at low tide, making it perfect for a refreshing swim. Inside the pool, you’ll find colorful tropical fish, sea urchins, starfish, and other small marine creatures. It’s a natural aquarium and an ideal spot for snorkeling. Unlike the more crowded tourist beaches, Tiwi and its African Pool remain peaceful, offering a quiet escape surrounded by coral reef, palm trees, and powdery white sand.
