Swim With Whale Sharks

One of the most exciting encounters sea lovers can dream of. A short trip by car from your lodge will take you to Kilindoni harbour, buzzing with daily activities in a kaleidoscope of colours. In support of local fishermen, involved in a project for protection of whale sharks, visitors use their local boats and skills to spot the gentle giants quietly feeding on plankton a few hundred metres from the shore.

In spite of the fact that nobody can guarantee that they will be seen, in the period between October and March the chances are extremely high and the lodges get in touch early in the morning with local guides that spot them and signal their position. Swimming with whale sharks, the largest fish on the planet, requires no special skills but even looking at these beautiful creatures from the boat is an unforgettable experience.
