SPOTTING DOLPHINS, WASINI ISLAND - KENYA
I was invited for a day trip excursion to Wasini Island. We drove from Mombasa, to Diani then to Shimoni on the south coast. We spotted a pod of dolphins and we did snorkeling at Kisite Mpunguti Marine National Park, then had lunch at wasini island, in kwale county. The experience was great and we got to see another beautiful side of Kenya, rich with marine life. #snorkeling #wasiniisland #dolphinsinkenya

Chale Island Kenia
Chale Island è una piccolissima isola a poche decine di metri dalle coste del Kenya, a sud di Mombasa. E' un' isola che si attraversa a piedi in pochi minuti, dato che è lunga meno di un chilometro e larga poco più di 300 metri e quindi diventa un possedimento privato dei clienti dell'unico resort presente.
Si accede all'isola con la barca ma, con la basa marea, si può aggiungere anche con il trattore che trascina la vettura con i turisti dalla costa al resort, in una serie di sobbalzi causati dal fondo irregolare di sabbia e rocce.
