Luxury Safari To Watamu

Watamu lies between the blue lagoon and Watamu bay in the Indian Ocean

. The term Watamu is Swahili meaning sweet people. This was coined in reference to the Arab slave traders who gave the locals sweets before taking them as slaves.

Watamu is one of the best tourist attraction areas in the East African region, but it remains unknown to many. It comes with pristine white sandy beaches and lagoons protected with reefs. The offline coral formations are in three bays, that is, Watamu Bay, Blue lagoon and Turtle bay.

For environmental protection purposes, there is the Watamu Marine National park. Watamu is known as the best Snorkeling and diving place in the whole of East Africa. While at these activities, one gets the chance to explore some of the most magnificent features that nature has to offer. One experiences the beautiful and colored underwater growth, corals and fish. The water is crystal clear and this setting presents a paradise feeling.

It is also a site where a new species of the largest spiting cobra was discovered in 2007. There are lots of snakes and reptiles in the area. There is The Bio-ken snake park that hosts a diverse range of snake and other reptile species. The snakes range from venomous to non-venomous species. The venomous snakes are milked and one can purchase a dose of the venom which is measured in milliliters. Some tour companies also arrange snake watching safari packages. Here, the tourists are accompanied by an experienced and knowledgeable guide around the bushes looking for snakes, mostly the "big five", which comprises the cobra, puff adder, python, mamba and boomslang. The party sets out with protective gear, and a grabbing stick. Once a snake is spotted, the guide grabs it with his/her stick, identifies it, shows it to the tourists, its features are explained and they also get a chance to touch it. It is then released back to the bush.

There is also the Ocean ""Trust Watamu turtle watch. Here turtles are conserved and one can watch the lovely reptiles. The Turtle bay Beach Club resort is one of the most prestigious places to seek accommodation while in Watamu.
