In 1997 Denis Moser opened a Safari business with only an Unimog. The first guest Safari was an entrepreneur from the car industry. The ride went to Tsavo West and Amboseli. Then the first group followed by 11 Americans Denis escorted. They drove to Tsavo East and Denis lost on this tour his shoes. From then on he had to spend the entire Safari without shoes. This found the Americans as "cool" so you equal all eleven drove without shoes. Six months later, when the Americans were already back home, Denis got a packet sent with brand new shoes that he still wears today. Later Denis bought cars, Land Cruiser, and expanded its territories and routes from. Today D.M. Tours & Safaris has 16 brand-new Land Cruiser, all with a convertible roof and space for 5 Safari guests. Now the company with more than 4,000 guests traveling 1.3 million kilometers a year. By the way, the very first customer is still every year with Denis on safari. In 2010 he built Diani Cottages. These were built so that guests can relax and enjoy their beach holiday in a pleasant resort after the safari. There are now 32 employees committed daily to the benefit of all customers and guests.

Voted as Africa's best, Diani is the most popular and beautiful beach in Kenya. It provides a tranquil haven where you can relax and enjoy the warmth of the sun. Diani is renowned for its coral-reefs, underwater sandbars, and widespread palm vegetation. The beach is a delightful location for swimming as well as surfing. If you want to have a calm chilled swim, walk along the beach, have a picnic with friends and family or engage in water sports, Diani beach is the best beach for all of these.
