“I loved the hospitality from the people there. The local people are really nice and friendly. The day trip was amazing with the sea and swimming time given to enjoy each other and just to have a good time. It was peaceful throughout and they seem to know what they were doing. What I didn’t like was not being told about what’s going on and everything being delayed. This is not professional and caused more stress during our trip. We could have planned things after and miss it. Please be mindful about this going forward keep people updated. But overall a well worth experience even though it’s quite expensive you…”

“Cela vaut essentiellement pour l ambiance et les explications sur la mangrove. Ne confondez pas avec une autre proposition méda creek qui démarre au Shark crab restaurant Celle ci démarre d un petit village tout au bout de la baie. Le trajet est assez long depuis watamu et non compris. Le prix du transfert est plus élevé que la visite. Attention aussi à marée basse vous devrez faire un long chemin boueux dans la baie à l aspect lunaire pour retrouver une barque Les chants vous accompagnent souvent et c est le plus de cette expédition”
