The Turtle Troop

Wake up to sumptuous breakfast courtesy of the culinary team of Safari Beach Hotel.

After breakfast, take a walk to the Turtle Watch center which will awaken your desire to engage in conservation. Learn through videos and make shift turtles habitats about the life and times of turtles. They face the imminent danger of extinction and the Turtle Watch team is working around the clock to try to extend or reverse this. 

After lunch, get ready for an experience in cultural immersion with a visit to  Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest. Step into the heart of a sacred world where nature and spirituality are one. The air in Kaya Kinondo feels different — cooler, older, wiser. This is one of the few remaining cultural and sacred sites for the Mijikenda people who occupy the coastal strip. Learn, engage and share a meal with the locals, in their authentic setting.

Travel back to Safari Beach Hotel for the evening.

Wake up to a beautiful breakfast set up by the Safari Beach Hotel.

After breakfast, get ready for the Big S; Sea, Sun and Sand. Dress in your water friendly attire and set out to enjoy the water, the sand and the sun. Explore the hidden treasures of the Indian Ocean either on a dhow, a ngalawa; a local canoe or a boat. The boats have a glass bottom, giving you a live show of the underwater flora and fauna as you head towards the reef. Enjoy a swim along the shallow shoreline or delve into the slightly deeper water and top it off with a long stroll along the palm fringed beach line accompanied by a refreshing sea breeze. Quench your thirst with a sip of the famous madafu (coconut water) drink.

After lunch, embark on a journey through the exotic history of Mombasa’s Old Town and recount the victories and voyages that are part of its foundation.  Step into a blend of Swahili, Portuguese, and Arabic culture as you tour around the Old Town, the spice markets and explore the hand-carved doors, and visit the old forts that tell the story of a city that has seen it all — traders, pirates, slaves and sultans.

After this Mombasa Old city tour, we will make sure you are in time for your journey back home or to your next destination.
