Things to do

You may have only planned a relaxing trip, but you might find that the African sun and sea air rejuvenates you quicker than you’d think and you’ll want to explore the natural beauty of Kenya. The hotel staff are always available to recommend day trips and excursions or to give you information on the local area.

The hotel’s reception will give information on the tides for you to plan your excursions, as many are dependent on low tide.

  • Wade out from the hotel’s beaches at low tide and discover normally submerged islands and natural sea life such as starfish and conch shells
  • At high tide, a small boat will take you to Mida Creek (an important shore-bird wintering site in the mangrove forest) or on a tour of Watamu
  • Transport can be arranged to diving centre – turtles, whale sharks and dolphins all inhabit the Indian Ocean and you may be lucky enough to get a glimpse. However, the magical colours of the reef and its many other inhabits will be more than enough for most
  • Visit the small tribal village of Kakoneni on the river Sabaki
  • At the Sabaki River Delta you can see wild flamingos and enjoy the beautiful views
  • The breathtaking and wild Mambrui Golden Beach
  • Robinson Island
  • Arabuko-Sokoke National Park
  • The Old Town of Gede
  • Tsavo East National Park - the largest national park in Kenya
