The Kiwayo and Kiunga expedition

Day 1
We leave Lamu in the sunrise, set sail for a 4-5 hours trip north. Half way we stop for lunch and swimming.The lunch is freshly caught fish cooked on-board by our fabulous chef.


Then we move on north, passing a lot of mangrove to the northern part of Kiwayou and finally to the village of Mkokoni on the main land.

The night is spent camping on the beach, close to the village, and we eat dinner on the beach where the only lights come from the moonlight and a fire.
Alternative:
-spend the night in simple bungalows (not included)
-spend the night at the luxury camp of Mike´s on Kiwayu (not included)

Day 2
Next morning we sail around the island of Kiwayu to visit a beautiful coral reef, which has not been destroyed by the climate changes.
1. After lunch we sail north again, to the Turtle island. We spend the night in our tents, and hopefully we can see the giant turtles coming up on the beach at night in the moonlight.
2. If it is the wrong season for seeing the turtles, other arrangements will be planned instead, e.g. make a visit in the Mkokoni village and the camp of WWF and the night will be spent in Mkokoni again.

Day 3
The next morning, we set sails again back home


Half way back we stop at the island of Paté and visit the old town Siyu where a Portuguese fortress let's us remember the violent history from the past.
Lunch is served somewhere on the way back, and also a stop for swimming
will be done.

The dhow Jannat

All sea excursions are made by our own dhow called Jannat. It is a large 12m dhow with in-built diesel engine and simple toilet facilities. It has it´s own well experienced crew and a chef called "Doctor" i.e. he has a degree in Swahili food, and of course, makes wonderful tasty dinners onboard with fresh food and fresh vegetables.
