At Sangapa Tours and Travel, we are passionate about creating unforgettable travel experiences that bring you closer to nature, adventure, and relaxation. Watamu, a charming coastal village along Kenya’s coastline, is famous for its pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and relaxed atmosphere.
Watamu lies within the protected Watamu Marine National Park, a conservation area renowned for its rich marine biodiversity. The beach is located approximately 105 km north of Kenya’s oldest city, Mombasa, and about 15 km south of Malindi.
We specialize in tailor-made safaris, excursions, and travel solutions that showcase the very best of Kenya. Watamu’s crystal-clear waters make it an ideal destination for a wide range of marine activities, while the surrounding region is home to abundant wildlife and unique natural attractions.
The Watamu Marine National Park is an exceptional spot for snorkeling and scuba diving. Its coral reefs host over 600 species of colorful fish and a remarkable variety of coral formations, offering unforgettable underwater experiences.
Upon arrival at the SGR station or Moi International Airport in Mombasa, you will be met by our driver and transferred to your hotel in Watamu. The scenic drive from Mombasa to Watamu takes approximately 2.5 hours.

After breakfast at your hotel, your Watamu exploration begins with a variety of exciting activities to choose from. Depending on your interests, you may enjoy snorkeling over vibrant coral reefs, kite surfing, scuba diving, dolphin watching, or a peaceful canoe ride through the mangrove forests during high tide.

For nature lovers, an optional excursion to Arabuko Sokoke Forest offers a chance to spot elephants and other wildlife. Alternatively, you can take a guided boardwalk walk at Mida Creek, home to more than 600 species of colorful birds.

Get the perfect introduction to Mombasa on this private full-day tour with a professional driver-guide. Explore the historic Old Town and Fort Jesus in the morning, then enjoy the wildlife and nature of Haller Park in the afternoon. Your local guide will share stories about Mombasa’s Swahili culture and heritage and introduce you to local food at the town market.
Daily departures are guaranteed. Round-trip hotel transport, entrance fees and all activities are included, so there are no hidden costs.
Around midday, stop for lunch at a local Swahili restaurant (not included, under USD 40 per person). It’s a great chance to try coastal favourites such as pilau, biryani, fish in coconut sauce and fresh fruit juices.
In the afternoon, visit Haller Park. This former cement quarry was turned into a thriving nature park by the environmentalist Dr René Haller. It is now home to giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, antelopes, crocodiles, and many smaller mammals and birds. The park has a game sanctuary, a reptile park, a demonstration fish farm, a palm garden, crocodile pens and a giraffe-viewing platform, and it welcomes more than 160,000 visitors a year.
The restoration began in 1971, when Dr Haller started planting trees on the bare quarry floor, and the park is now a celebrated example of turning damaged land back into a living forest. From the giraffe-viewing platform you can get up close to the giraffes, which is a highlight for children and adults alike.
Afterwards, we drive you back to your hotel.
After pick-up from your hotel, we head to Fort Jesus. The Portuguese built it in the late 16th century on a coral ridge at the entrance to Mombasa harbour, to protect their settlement on the East African coast. The fort changed hands many times, most famously in 1698 when Omani Arabs captured it after a long siege. Under British rule it was used as a prison from 1895. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important historical landmarks in East Africa. Inside, explore the ramparts, the Omani House and the small museum, which displays finds from shipwrecks and old coastal settlements.
From the fort, walk through the narrow streets of the Old Town and visit a traditional spice shop. Your guide will point out the carved wooden doors and balconies that reflect the town’s Swahili, Arab and Indian heritage. You’ll also see the Hindu Temple and the Akamba handicraft market, where local woodcarvers make their crafts.
On Moi Avenue, stop at the famous Mombasa Tusks: two pairs of crossed aluminium tusks that form the letter “M” for Mombasa. They were built in 1952 to mark the visit of Princess Elizabeth and are the city’s best-known photo stop.
