Things to Do in Diani: Visit Colobus Conservation and Support
Wildlife Protection Now Bookable on KenyaBuzz
When you think of endangered animals, you probably picture the big ones: elephants with poachers hot on their trail or rhinos fighting to survive. But what if I told you that even some of those cheeky monkeys you see swinging through Diani are on that list too?
Those adorable and graceful, black-and-white Angolan colobus monkeys aren’t just photogenic, they’re vulnerable. And while their cousins are out here living their best mischief-filled lives, raiding balconies and snatching snacks, this species instead shies away from people and is quietly disappearing from Kenya’s coastal forests.
Enter Colobus Conservation, Diani’s quiet hero and one of the Coast’s most meaningful stops. It all began in 1997, when locals grew concerned about the number of colobus monkeys losing their lives along the Diani Beach Road. What started as a community outcry has since evolved into a full-fledged conservation effort: rescuing injured primates, rehabilitating them, protecting the forest, and even setting up clever rope bridges so the monkeys can cross roads safely. It’s the
kind of work that blends heart, innovation, and a deep love for wildlife.
Colobus Conservation also gives visitors a chance to experience their work up close and see conservation in action. It’s more than learning; it’s about truly connecting. But here’s the best part; this isn’t your regular “look-don’t-touch” kind of visit. A tour of Colobus Conservation is like walking straight into a real-life nature documentary. You’ll meet the monkeys, learn their stories, and see how the team is keeping Diani’s wild side alive. It’s fun, surprisingly emotional, and a must-do if you want to switch things up from the usual beach-and-cocktail routine.
And now, you don’t even have to wait till you’re in Diani to plan it. You can book your Colobus Conservation experience online via KenyaBuzz before your trip. Easy, convenient, and one more reason to pat yourself on the back for doing something meaningful on holiday. So, next time you’re in Diani, go say hi to the furry kind of locals. Trust us, this is one experience that’s as heartwarming as it is unforgettable. https://kenyabuzz.com/lifestyle/things-to-do-in-diani-visit-colobus-conservation-and-support-wildlife-protection-now-bookable-on-kenyabuzz?utm_source=KB_E_PAPER_31_OCT
