Resting in the magnificent Great Rift Valley and presided over by the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya is characterised by hauntingly beautiful natural landscapes of forested hills, patchwork farms, wooded savanna and vast forests brimming with an extraordinary abundance of wildlife. The nation’s diverse range of traditional African cultures is influenced by over 70 unique ethnic groups from the Maasai, Samburu, Kikuyu, and Turkana tribes to the Arabs and Indians that settled on the coast. Add to this: an exquisite tropical coastline fringed with breathtaking golden sand beaches; gorgeous coral gardens providing excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities; and a slew of lively beach resorts, and it is easy to see why so many visitors flock here from around the world to experience a truly unique African adventure in one of the world’s most pristine safari destinations.
Lying just off the southeastern coast of Kenya, Wasini Island is a laidback tropical paradise known for its white-sand beaches lapped by turquoise waters. Wasini Island is sparsely populated and undeveloped with only small fishing villages and a few Swahili ruins dating back to the 17th century. Visitors can snorkel and dive through the beautiful coral reef of Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park, spot dolphins and whales in the East African current, fish in the famous Pemba Channel, visit the 'Shimoni Slave Caves' and laze in a hammock enjoying magnificent views and the gentle sea breeze.
