Your first stop is a pristine sandbank, where you can snorkel among vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Upon reaching Kwale Island, take time to explore its unique natural features, including a centuries-old baobab tree that, despite having fallen long ago, continues to thrive impressively.
