Join us for an unforgettable day on a traditional dhow in one of the last ecologically intact paradise on Earth. We’ll pick you up from your hotel early in the morning, to drive to our base camp in Bodo, an ancient village about 1h00 south of Mombasa.
After a light Swahili breakfast, you will board our dhow to sail to Funzi island where you get a glimpse into the everyday life of a shirazi Swahili Village, unchanged for 100 of years.
Then a canoe trip up the Ramisi river to explore a unique eco-system protected by dense mangroves. You will observe a large variety of birdlife and the occasional crocodile/and or giant lizard from a safe distance of course.
The dhow will then take you to the solitude of a sandbank in the warm Indian Ocean where you can swim and explore, or just relax on the fine white sands for a while.
Next the Dhow will sail to Kinazini, our uninhabited private Island Restaurant. There is a chance that you will see dolphins and or giant sea turtles on the way.
Once there, you will enjoy a sumptuous seafood BBQ lunch “Robinson Crusoe” style, including crab and lobster, if any are in season. After lunch, you have time for a siesta or to swim to explore the island before we sail back to Bodo for transfer back to your hotel in good time for dinner.
