Shimoni caves is a series of caves found in Shimoni about an 1hrs drive from Diani. The caves were carved by water slowly eroding the limestone creating small holes and eventually creating the cave.

Evidence of this can be found by the remnants of shackles that were used to secure the slaves before shipment.
