Lamu Island and Kiwayu

Lamu, Kenya’s oldest town on an island off the mainland, had a Kathmandu-type reputation for the mystical that used to attract globetrotting hippies. Now it has an almost exclusively Muslim population – and it’s still well worth a visit with great places to stay, lovely Shela Beach and wall-to-wall dhows. It serves as a gateway to the many smaller islands further north towards the Somali border.

Kiwayu is an untouched marine park nearby, with vivid coral, tropical fish, turtle nesting sites and superb sea kayaking adventures.

Gede, Watamu and Butterflies

A National Museum, Gede Ruins is a 12th Century Swahili village that was mysteriously abandoned some 600 years ago due to unknown causes.  On the edge of an ever penetrating forest, discover the arcelogist in yourself.

Close by are the spectacular and pristine Watamu Marine Park and the Mida Creek where you can float in the current and get whisked along seeing the beautiful splendour below you.

The Arabuko Sokoke National is 420 square km and East Africa's largest remaining tract of indigenous coastal forest.  Home to wide variety of birds and butterflies as well as amphibians and smaller mammals. Walk the forest paths in search of the Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew, Clarke's Weaver, Sokoke Scops Owl, and Syke's Monkey.

Mombasa

Visit Fort Jesus, built by the Portugese in 1500s, buy the latest kanga or kikoy from busy duka's on Biashara Street, walk down the small twisty old town streets, see the Old dhow port and visit the market. Mombasa is a mix of Arab, Indian, Chinese, English and African Cultures.  It is the melting pot of Swahili Culture.

Shimba Hills National Park and Mwalaganje Elephant Sanctuary

Sitting on the forested hills behind Galu Beach, this is the place to view rare Sable Antelope with their beautifully curved horns. Ruggedly beautiful Mwaluganje was opened in 1995 to create a corridor along an ancient elephant trail and is home to around 150 elephants – close encounters with enormous bulls are quite likely!

Shimoni and Wasini Island

Deep Sea Fishing heaven or spend a day on a dhow stopping for lunch on an island that time has forgotten for an incredible Swahili Fish feast.
