About this experience

Africa Pool is a naturally formed tidal pool in the coral rock at Tiwi Beach, just north of Diani. It is known for clear water, easy snorkelling and an outline that looks like the shape of the continent from above.

Access is coordinated locally and the visit is timed to the tide, which is what makes the pool swimmable rather than dry rock.
