Review of Mombasa’s private Kisite cruise, with dolphins, snorkeling, Swahili food, Wasini Island, hotel transfers, and practical tips.
“The strongest aspects of the trip were our guides and the organisation. They went out of their way to ensure everything met our expectations. Even the discussions about modern Africa were profound and inspiring.

Swimming with it was out of the question – it was too fast :). During the snorkelling, we saw lots of coral, fish, and one spiny lobster (I think it ran away quickly). I recommend bringing fins; you'll tire out more quickly without them. Then, we sailed to the island for lunch, past…”

“We had a great private tour of Tsavo with our guide Charlie who was an excellent driver, navigating not only traffic to the park but also the terrain of Tsavo.

Review of Wasini Island’s dhow cruise, dolphin spotting, snorkeling, seafood lunch, village walk, and optional Shimoni caves from Mombasa.
“The activity was 2/5. We unfortunately didn’t see dolphins, but that’s okay. The snorkelling felt rushed so you didn’t get much time to enjoy and see what was out there. The restaurant they chose was also not good. It was unfortunately not worth the money.”
