The Kenyan Coast region

Lovely climate basically all year, swimming and sunbathing are the perfect pastimes from this pretty retreat. It is hotter from Christmas to March than in July, tropical and humid most of the year as on the equator, some rains in April and November. September and October are just perfect! Pale and fine sandy beaches, coral reefs with some snorkelling in the marine parks. Also there are cooks who will do everything, this is a perfect location for anyone who like to do a bit of cooking themselves! Local fisherman come to the door with their catch of tuna, red snapper, crab, shrimps. The local market full of fresh fruit and vegetables is a joy for foodies. The kitchens are newly equipped with gas cookers and all utensils.

Kilifi area

As well as snorkelling there is game fishing available in neaby Watamu and a short drive away are the ancient Arab ruins of Gedi. A haven for bird watchers, see carmine bee eaters in their hundreds up the creek, many close up views of birds roosting at sunset if you take a relaxing dhow trip before supper. The nearby Sokoke forest is a birdwatchers and nature lovers paradise. The local town of Kilifi has all the daily needs in the way of shops and a few good lunch stops. Mailindi an hour away is the perfect shopping for any level of souvenir, artifact or fashionable items. Take a dhow or yacht trip to Takaungu and have a picnic or lunch in the local Italian restaurant ( need to book ). Mailindi and Watamu have a wealth of delicious lunchtime restaurants.
