Wasini Islands

On a “Boutre”, natural aquarium in Kisite, crab tasting, visit to the coral garden in the Muslim village. Snorkelling, diving, dolphin and sea turtle watching. The coral garden is proof that sea levels were once much higher. Restaurant serving Swahili specialities. During this excursion, visit the SHIMONI caves, natural geological formations stretching over 5km. These caves were used by Arab slavers as gathering places for their victims. Kenyan-born singer Roger Whitaker made them famous in his song Shimoni: “Listen as a million slaves tell you how they walked so far, how many died in mesery, while the rest were sold in Zanzibar…”.

Shimoni was also the headquarters of the Imperial East Africa Company during British colonization.
