A walk through this lifeless town evokes mystery, suspense and melodrama as the visitor relives past era. Take an unforgettable sundowner at the midi creek. If you happen to be at Hemingway’s resort at 4:30pm, book yourself on the two-and half hour sundowner dhow up and down the Mida creek. For KSHs. 2,450 and half that amount for children, you will enjoy bitings and drinks to your fill, as you watch the sun go down into the ocean. Watamu is best known for ocean sports, particularly deep-sea fishing. If that is your interest – regardless of whether you are an experienced angler or a novice – then the place to be is Hemingway’s. All Hemingway’s’ deep-water fishing craft are twin-engine, and linked with each other and the shore base by radio. The crews are skilled and well versed in taking out newcomers to the sport.

They enjoy showing you how it all works. Watamu caters for all tastes and pockets and the budget holidaymaker is accommodated at ocean sports hotel. The hotel sits on turtle bay, a seven-kilometer stretch of dazzling white sand, leading down to a warm, clear turquoise sea protected by fascinating coral reefs (expect in

"This land of abundant wildlife, ideal climate and diverse habitats is fanatic at any time of year. But it comes into its own when the wildebeest migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti over the raging Mara River onto the vast grasslands"
the off-season due to seaweed). It is one of the few family-run hotels left on the Kenya coast, and has a very warm and friendly atmosphere. There you can go diving or creek fishing play tennis or squash or just exercise in the gym. You can go snorkeling all year round, and dolphin and whale watching between November and March. Ocean sports is the meeting place for Watamu hash harriers, the group that has

been described as "serious drinkers with a running problem". So, you are assured of fun if that is what you are after if under water exploring is not your style, not to worry," says Melinda Rees, ocean sports’ customers’ service director. "From windsurfing to dolphin watching, boat trips, gentle walks to explore the rock pools or simply lying on the beach, the Watamu beach offers something for everyone."

Shimba hills: An hour’s drive from the Indian Ocean through undulating faming country and colorful villages gets you to the beautiful Shimba hills, a stunning landscape with steep valleys, rolling hills and pockets of rainforest. While the wildlife may not be abundant, the area is home to the only sable antelope in Kenya. Sable is a chocolate-brown horse-like antelope with magnificent, sweeping, sickle-shaped horns. The forests of Shimba resonate with exotic sounds of tree frogs, birds and bush babies. They host a number of tented camps and lodges, designed to induce relaxation. Place of interest for excursions include the Sheldrick falls and the Mwalunganje elephant sanctuary, a community-based conservation project.

Tsavo: Apart from the man-eating lions that nearly stopped the construction of the Kenya-Uganda railway more than a century ago, Tsavo is renowned for its herd of elephants. You could be forgiven for thinking that the Tsavo elephants are a separate species, as their skin looks decidedly red. This is just the rich, brown dust giving them a photogenic ruby colour.

Amboseli: Amboseli is a place of stark contrast. Despite its sometimes dry and dusty appearance, it has an endless water supply filtered by thousands of feet of volcanic rock from Kilimanjaro’s icecap. These underground streams converge into two clear water springs in the heart of the park. The endemic dust is volcanic ash, which spewed from Kilimanjaro a millennium ago. The park is vast, the expanse only interrupted by the occasional trumpeting of elephants.

Maasai Mara: This land of abundant wildlife, ideal climate and diverse habitats is fanatic at any time of year. But it comes into its own when the wildebeest migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti over the raging Mara River onto the vast grasslands. It’s a spectacle. The sheer determination of the animals is amazing. They move as though driven, across plain, grassland and water. They do not stop. Even when some drown, the others just go crashing by. It’s a spectacle of a lifetime. The animals migrate from Serengeti in Tanzania to Kenya’s Maasai Mara between July and September and back in January and February<<<<Back<<<<
