Activities
There are plenty of activities to do in the area. The most popular is to relax in the veranda or at the beach watching the ocean with a book. With the low tide you can walk on the long beach, or on the white sand bar and up to the coral riff, while enjoying the natural swimming pools. With the high tide you can sail on a local dau, go snorkeling to Malindi or Watamu marine parks and watch the wild dolphins. In Watamu Mida creek you can try bird watching, including flamingoes, or kayaking. Other popular marine activities are kite surfing and deep sea fishing (best with Tribe or Hemingway’s). Several yoga retreats were also organised in the house, filling it with positive energy.
There are several excursions that can be organised. The Arabuko Sokoke forest is 30 mins away and another ideal spot for bird watching. Gede ruins are a famous national historic site. Chechale, the ''gold" beach, is at 40 mins drive. The entrance to the Tsavo East National Park is 2h away and safari of one/two days can be organised.
