Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park: Comprehensive Expedition Overview

Located near Shimoni near the Tanzanian border, Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park covers 39 square kilometers of pristine coral gardens and open waters frequented by pods of wild bottlenose dolphins.

Kisite Marine Park features some of the richest coral reefs along the East African coast. Snorkelers and scuba divers encounter over 250 documented fish species, green sea turtles, humpback whales (seasonally), and reef sharks.

A traditional dhow cruise from Shimoni includes a seafood lunch on Wasini Island and guided walks through historic coral gardens and Swahili fishing villages.
