Situated in Diani Beach, Footprints House provides accommodation with a garden. The property is set 1.2 km from Ukunda Airstrip. The property features pool views and an outdoor pool.

At the guest house, every room comes with a patio. With a private bathroom, rooms at Footprints House also offer a garden view. All rooms feature a wardrobe.

It was a great time spent at Footprints. Feeling like home due to very hospital hosts, staff and incredible dogs and cats, who became our friends for these 6 days. Going to the beach or main road with cafes and shopping centre is very easy from Footprints. The territory is green and shady even with Baobab nearby. On the way to the beach you will meet lizards, monkeys and birds. The beach area here is quiet and not many people. NB. Try the food in Searenity hotel which is 50 meters down . The great service, food and ocean view costs even less than in cafes at the main road.

    Quiet location at 200m from the beach, beautifully decorated traditional villas in a well maintained garden, excellent personal cook, nice massage. The swimming pool is also very nice to spend time with the family. Lucia had arranged a taxi to pick us at Mombasa airport and a delicious dinner -Swahili prawns- was ready when we arrived. Nice selection of local crafts at reasonnable price in the small boutique. Thanks for everything, we loved our stay!

    We loved our stay at Flamboyant ; the service is great and the property was above expectations. Food portions at the restaurant are generous and lots of choice. Arty was a great host and put a lot of effort in ensuring everyone was comfortable at all times.

    This is just a fantastic place, very quiet and tranquil and perfect for some relaxing after travelling Kenya and different national parks and a lovely place to explore Diani. The hosts and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, sharing tips for restaurants and places to see and helping arrange transport. Would have loved to stay a little longer

    Noel was a great host! He and his team were always super nice & helpful. We got great tips and Noel organized a Tuktuk driver for us. The breakfast was nice and we felt very welcome. The property is beautiful and the pool area is a nice hangout space.

    In a great location. 100 yds walk through the garden to the beach. Lovely tropical beach. Such friendly and attentive staff. Couldn’t do enough for you. Good food at a reasonable price. Very relaxing vibe. Friendly fellow travellers. A small bnb next to a small boutique hotel where you get your food and can use the pool. The Baobab is really an annexe of the Flamboyant Hotel but that makes it good as it’s quieter yet only 50 yds to pool and bar.
