Travel Tips from people who've been to Watamu
Watamu est une petite ville côtière au bord de l'océan indien à une centaine de kilomètres de mombassa, 2ème ville du Kenya en termes d'habitants. Des complexes hoteliers longent les rives, de haut standing tout en gardant leur typicité africaine. En hiver (boréal) la marée se retire des centaines de mètres au loin permettant une exploration à pied des fonds marins. Température à 30°C en décembre. Possibilité de partir en jet dans les parcs naturels du Tsavo est : grandiose. Nightlife : aucune. Dangers : soleil. Deals : à condition de s'éloigner du complexe hotelier (Watumu african resort) la vie est peu chère.

Favorite hotel in Watamu is Ocean Sports, although now under new management and pricey. Other must do stuff: Gedi ruins, ca. 6 km away.  Also, Bio-Ken Snake Park, probably the finest and best run in East Africa.  Mida Creek and Arabuko-Sokoke Forest for birding (although you need a guide for the latter.
