The 14th Century Kongo Mosque on Diani beach On the northern most tip of diani beach, stands a wonderful spiritual monument known today as Kongo Mosque (formerly Diani Persian Mosque).  It is reputed to be one of the oldest and most unique mosques ever built in East Africa which is still being frequented by worshipers on a daily basis. Built using coral stones in the 14th Century, the Kongo Mosque's location and atmosphere is nothing short of heavenly. The mosque is located on a dreamy white powdered beach,  surrounded by coconut palms, ancient baobab trees and is literally just  a few feet away from the turquoise waters of Indian Ocean.  Imagine yourself standing in prayer between these naturally cooled stone walls, feeling the light ocean breeze as you listen to rumbling sound of the waves landing on the beach... the feeling is absolutely supernal. So on your next visit to diani beach, just remember that your trip will not be complete without a stop at the won

Super Moon rising over the Indian Ocean in Mombasa Mombasa residents on 14th November were treated to a wonderful sighting of the supermoon rising over the coastline. It was a special treat for both astronomers and photographers across the globe to witness this event as the last time the moon was this close to earth was in 1948. The next one like this will be on November 25th, 2034 while the closest supermoon of the century will be on December 6, 2052. For those of us who tried to photograph it, you definitely understand how difficult it is to capture a perfect photo while trying to correctly expose for the moon and all the surrounding details in 1 shot.
