Nice little tour video, thanks. Another little known hidden gem within Watamu is a villa called Bingo House Watamu - an amazing place for a family especially with kids. Modern fully serviced house with a huge pool including a big water play area for kids. Absolutely amazing place, had a blast there!
Intro: white Kenyan. As an Airline pilot retired, Thailand. x bush pilot , Kenya and Tanzania. to get to Watamu, I kindly suggest , you need to fly to Malindi, get in a taxi drive to Watamu, as kids we used to go to Ocean Sports , the Kenya cowboys called it Open Shorts, just behind Hemingways.for the deep Sea fishing,( continental shelf has a massive drop off opposite Hemingways 5 miles out) 100 yards behind Hemingways was Open shorts, in those days. Did you do a video on !amu, also you can fly to Lamu, from Wilson. Really enjoy your video’s text book happy family. But you do make me homesick. My land is Kenya, by Roger Whitaker. Chris Northern Thailand.kwahiri guys.
I've been watching so many of your vids offline and forget to comment when I get online... I loved loved loved your road trip series. That was an eye opener, esp the baby elephants... My heart melted ❤❤❤. I'd love to see you do another one
Jambo where next family 🇰🇪 ❤ thank you for watamu tour ❤ I have been watamu only once and never been In the beach just vist the old town of watamu at night I hope one day come vist again for boat tour 🇰🇪🐘🦏thank you where next family 🇰🇪🐘🦏
Drop by malindi...visit Vasco da gama pillar... various hotel beaches...naivas supermarket n best Swahili dishes hotels😋....(Taheri hotel opposite 7to 7 supermarket
We visited Watamu in Dec 2020 and fell in love with this beautiful place.. we don’t know how to swim and yet enjoyed the marine rides! WATAMU we shall be back.. 😍
It's a throwback for me. I performed at Hemingways every Wednesday, late 2001 to early part of 2002 before returning to college somewhere since I was in between colleges still figuring out what I wanted to do with myself. Thanks for the kind reminder. You bring wonderful memories
The best Pizza in Watamu you can enjoy at Marinas Bar and Restaurant 😊 I am there now , time by time, for 11 Years and it is a nice arrea. Only to build a house and to get a working permit is a little bit difficult 😅
Hello from fellow LCA member ! This is an awesome guide and video. Huge fans of your videos. We’ve just subscribed and are excited to keep up with your videos! ❤️
I have been thinking about visiting Watamu again after many years and am interested in how it has changed. I was first there in 1971 and was able to pitch my tent for 5 shillings a night more or less on the beach about (as far as I can judge) half way between Ocean Sports and what seems to be called Blue Bay IGV. Ocean Sports was there but the other one is new. There used to be an old Kenyan man who came down the beach with some fish he had caught and we would buy a couple off him, fillet them, poach them and eat them. I imagine this is no longer possible. Sometimes we would wander the 100 yards or so down the beach and eat and drink at Ocean Sports. I imagine this is still possible. In short then, how much have things changed and where is good to stay and to eat? Obviously you like it so I'm keen to hear what you have to say. Thanks, Mike
Oh wow, I can't even imagine how cool it was back then! Things have definitely changed considerably since then I'd say. Don't get me wrong, it certainly hasn't been commercialised and lost its charm. It's maintained a lot of it's simplicity and rawness, but I would imagine since your last visit a lot of hotels and houses have been built and it's much busier. We still love it though and it's not as touristy as somewhere like Diani, but I'd speculate it's not too far behind
I have always wanted to visit watamu, there's always a different feel while being at the beach,I know it's similar to diani but different in a way, would be nice to experience it
What about them? It's nature 🙂 We see small (harmless) snakes all the time but they don't pose a threat to humans. Plus the Resort has cats who help keep the population under control 😉

Yeeees number one comment hope to come to watamu one Day
🥳 Let us know if you make it here!
I have never been to Watamu
Stayed at Temple Point Resort before...what about the snakes?
What about them?
It's nature 🙂
We see small (harmless) snakes all the time but they don't pose a threat to humans. Plus the Resort has cats who help keep the population under control 😉
@@WhereNextFamily didn't mean that, was talking about what used to be Bio-ken for a vlogl
I really enjoyed the tour,🤣
Glad you did 🙂
Just realized I am in the video 😅.
Welcome to Watamu ❤.
😂🥳
You know you’ve been in Kenya long when you say ATM rather than a cash point 🤣🤣 love it!
Haha actually, the British don’t say cash point. We always say ATM 😂
@@WhereNextFamily That's true although its also common to use cash point too! :-) I just love how well integrated you guys are in your second home!
Looks more like malindi
If you only have time to visit one beach on yhis coast... Which would you reccomend....? Watamu, Diani or Malinda...? 🤔
Watamu 😊
Wait,was that Dave and Tracy in thumbnails?
Yes it is. They come to visit occasionally and we loved this picture to sum up our Watamu tour 🙂
Nice
🙌
Hello we are thinking of going to Watamu with our 3 and 5 year old. Is it safe to go out with small children at night??
Yes Watamu is very safe 🙂
Why don't you do shorts since you are already on over 1000 subscriber's?
We're posting on 4 different platforms and it's a huge amount of work, so Shorts has fallen behind a little lately.
Need yo go yo India bro !!!
Maybe one day!
Now bro ! Before it becomes the usa of the east !

You guys are very tal that Tuk Tuk is doing you lots of injustices with the shaking
Pin location 😂
Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!

Good question.
It's a close one between watamu and Diani...
Watamu feels a little more untouched, and for us I think it's our preference
