Welcome to Shimoni and the Wasini Channel
The Heart of Kenya's Wild Swahili Coast...
On the southern tip of the Kenya coast, on the edge of the Pemba Channel, north of Zanzibar, lies Kenya's own remote Swahili archipelago. Hidden islands, reefs teeming with fish and dolphins and a living vestige of the 1,000 year old monsoon Dhow trading culture, still plying the islands.
Come taste the original Swahili coast.
