Bicycle
From Diani Beach, head north on the main road towards Ukunda. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with the Diani-Chale road. Turn left and follow the road until you reach the junction leading to Mombasa. Keep going straight for about 20 kilometers until you reach Mama Ngina Drive in Mombasa. The ride should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your pace.
Boda Boda (Motorcycle taxi)
You can easily find a boda boda by the beach or near hotels in Diani Beach. Tell the driver that you want to go to Mama Ngina Drive in Mombasa. The ride will take you through Ukunda and onto the main road towards Mombasa. The journey should take about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic.
Public Bus (Matatu)
Locate the matatu stage in Diani Beach, typically near the Ukunda market. Look for a matatu heading to Mombasa. Once you board, pay the fare (usually around 100-150 KES). The journey will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic. Ask the conductor to drop you off at Mama Ngina Drive in Mombasa, and they will assist you.
Walking
If you prefer to walk, you can head towards the main road from Diani Beach. Walk north to Ukunda and then continue towards Mombasa. However, this is a very long trek (approximately 30 kilometers) and not recommended due to the heat and lack of pedestrian paths. It's better to use a bicycle or public transport.
