Explore the terrestrial side of Kwale Island, home to an ancient baobab tree and a traditional seafood feast.
After snorkeling in Menai Bay, Safari Blue tours bring you ashore to explore Kwale Island. Here, you will eat a fresh seafood lunch and see the island's unique vegetation.
The inland area is small and easy to navigate on foot. You will spend most of your time here dining in the shade or browsing local pop-up stalls.
