There are many ways to see Africa, but how about from 14,000 feet above the ground, falling earthwards at 120 miles per hour? For adrenaline junkies, the Kenyan coast has become the latest hot spot for aerial adventure, where the equatorial atmosphere at sea level can give skydivers more than a minute of full freefall over the beautiful blue Indian Ocean, before touching down on pure white sands on one of the world's best beaches.
Sky diving in Kenya includes the annual meeting of sky divers from around the world at Diani Beach on Kenya's South Coast, dubbed the “Kenya Skydive Boogie”. It has become an almost an annual event on the sky diving calendar. Divers make their way to a local airstrip before falling out the sky at enormous heights. At Diani, sky divers take a short trip to Ukunda airstrip, and ascend in a Kenya Twin Otter, completing the spectacular and exhilarating drive by landing on the doorstep of their chosen accommodation to enjoy a well-earned drink |
