Things to do in Watamu, Coast Province: The Best Tours
The delightful village of Watamu is an eco-tourist’s dream, lined with sandy white beaches and hotels dedicated to sustainable tourism. Watamu is a quick snorkel away from the Malindi Marine Reserve Park, and Turtle Beach is the ideal spot for a swim and a tanning session. The village proper features quaint Kenyan shopping stalls called dukas, where you can stock up with supplies. Make sure to visit the Gede Ruins, a mysterious and heavily overgrown 12th century Swahili village, and the beautifully fluttery Kipepeo Butterfly Project.

I was a little anxious about doing this trip alone but everyone was so friendly and I had so much fun. I opted to go snorkelling with a member of the boat crew. We were out for almost an hour and I saw the most amazing marine l upife. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins, although not for long. Lunch on Wasini Island was really good, plenty of food and the service was great. My overnight stay at Shimoni Reef Lodge was just perfect, the staff went out of their way to welcome me and make my stay memorable. The food was wonderful. I took the opportunity to visit the slave caves and was escorted there personally by Nyinge who worked at the Lodge, nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a unique two day experience

Daniel was a huge help in making our trip to Kenya wonderful. As the manager of Jua Villa nothing was too much to ask of him. He was reassuring and got things done, whether it was water temperature, a painfully torn gel nail, to giving honest advice for excursions. He loves his homeland and does his best to make sure your trip is unforgettable. We fell in love with Kenya and hope to return soon. Thank you Daniel. You went above and beyond the call of duty and we greatly appreciate! Regards from Karen and family!!

Enjoy your lunch while you admire the views of 40 km of pristine sand dunes, making this area the most unique landscape of the coast. After lunch, you will go along the sand dunes and you will have the opportunity to do a photo session in an incredible setting. The site is in the city of Marafa, a small village unpretentious with showy baobab. The Depression Marafa, also known as Hell's Kitchen, is a strange throat sandstone.The colors in layers of sandstone reveal white, pink, orange and deep crimisi, making the throat especially impressive at sunset, when you highlight the tones of ribbed sandstone gorges and reflecting the colors of the sun at sunset. it is as if the rocks had caught fire! Enjoy nature walk in the evening and later, you can watch the baboons and hyenas of the place before you a magical sunset.

Me and my girlfriend were looking for a safari in Kenya and a friend gave us Benzi's contact. He has been friendly, kind and caring since the first call we had. He customized several proposals for us as he understood that we wanted to experience the beauty of nature and the spotting of wildlife without spending exaggerate amount of money. Our safari has been AWESOME!! He and his great driver Paolo picked us directly at home (even we were staying far from Watamu), and took us to the magnificent Amboseli National Park. Thanks to Benzi's knowledge and experience (and a bit of luck for sure) we spotted almost all possible animals in the park just along the first evening drive! He shared a lot of information about wildlife, local culture and animals' habits. After having spotted many other animals (cheetas, lions, etc..) in the early morning of the 2nd day, he drove us to the Tsavo East Park. Another beautiful sunset in the great Savannah, sourranded by elephants and birds of all kind. During the 3rd day we had time for another last drive in the park (couple of male lions walked just beside our van) before heading home. What else should I say, Benzi has gifted us with the most memorable experience in Kenya!! He is very professional, knows the perfect timing and paths to spot animals in all the greatest parks. Both ACCOMODATIONS he chose for us were great, as well as the FOOD served!! Furthermore -and most important- he is very funny and kind..a perfect travel guide! We became friends and we can't wait to plan another adventure with him!
