Ocean Sports Resort; Ocean Sports Resort is situated on Watamu Beach, a Marine Park protected by the Kenya Wildlife Service. Watamu is a small fishing village south of Malindi town on Kenya's North coast. It has about 20 kilometers of beaches, of which 6 are in the Watamu Marine National Park.

 

Ocean Sports Resort Watamu is 120 Kilometers North of Mombasa and 28 Kilometers South of Malindi. At Gede, which is on the main Mombasa Malindi road, you turn towards the Indian Ocean. 11 Kilometers from the main road is Watamu itself.

 

The Watamu beach road is about 10kms from North to South where it ends at the mouth of Mida Creek. The name "Watamu" means "sweet people" in Swahili.

 

The name came from the fact that Arab slave traders used to distribute sweets to entice the local population before taking them as slaves. Ocean Sports Resort in Watamu is a quiet beach resort with some lovely, deserted (or near-deserted) white sandy beaches.

 

Snorkeling is one of the major attractions for anyone wishing to witness the amazing diversity and colorful underwater life. It is also a centre for bird watching, with Mida Creek and the Arabuko Sokoke Forest on the doorstep

 

Why visit Watamu and stay at Ocean Sports Resort? Avoid the hyped commercialism of other beaches in Kenya and get away from it all on one of the last unspoiled stretches of Kenyan beach resort and spend hours Snorkeling, walking on the beach and just lazing away the holidays. It really is beautiful!

Watamu Bio – Ken Snake Park is one of the best Snake Parks in Kenya. Residents include black and green Mambas; Cobras; adders and pythons.

 

A crocodile pit also features a feeding time activity. The Park is located within a 10 minute drive from Ocean Sports Resort and provides an extremely educational, friendly and popular diversion

Water Sports

Ocean Sports Resort offers Water Sports such as Deep Sea Fishing, Kite Surfing, Water Skiing, Windsurfing, Boogie / Body boarding, Surfing, Sea Kayaking and Diving

 

Dolphin Trips
Typically during calm water periods, dolphins can be observed at close quarters just beyond the reef perimeter. Ocean Legend can be utilized for this purpose and in fact, some guests swim amongst these wonderful creatures

 

Sokoke Forest
Less than 30 minutes drive from Ocean Sports Resort, Arabuko-Sokoke Forest covers an area of 400 square kilometers and is the last large section of indigenous coastal forest left in Kenya. It is a key site for the global survival of six bird and three mammal species, which are under threat due to the destruction and reduction of their natural habitat.

 

Elephants are one of the greatest attractions in this forest as well as the much smaller and almost extinct Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew.

 

More than 260 different species of birds have been recorded including the rare Sokoke Scops-owl and the Amani Sunbird. These can be spotted during early morning walks in the forest nestling in the pre-historic looking Sokoke Cycads or from a viewing platform in one of the tree houses.

 

The Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Guides Association has several expert guides who can accompany visitors on forest walks. They are expert ornithologists and can help visitors to find and view some of the rare and unique birds of the forest.

 

Gede Ruins
The Gede Ruins are the site of an abandoned 15th century village hidden in the forest. Now a National Museum, the ruins are heavily overgrown with beautiful indigenous forest trees, baobabs and tamarind.

 

There are no historical records of the village, which included palaces, houses and mosques, and a veil of mystery hangs over its existence. A tree house set high in a giant baobab provides a bird’s-eye view of the whole site.

 

Bird Watching at Mida Creek
This large mangrove-lined tidal creek offers a wide range of outdoor activities to suit all ages and interests and is only a short drive from Ocean Sports Resort. A national reserve run by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the creek is host to a large population of bird and marine life.

 

Bird-watching is especially enjoyable from a boat floating on the tide and among the 51 species of birds which live in the creek; visitors are likely to spot Crab Plovers, Sand Pipers, Stints, Turns, Spoonbills and Flamingos.

 

The mangroves bordering the shoreline have fantastic root systems, which act as protection for young fish making the creek a natural nursery and a wonderful area for casual snorkeling, or goggling as we call it here.

 

Sudi Island in the centre of the creek is only accessible by boat or dhow and has a quaint wooden boardwalk through the mangroves leading to a white beach complete with shaded picnic tables.

 

This makes a great spot for lunch or a quick snack especially after water skiing, which is another popular activity on the creek.

 

There are also dhow trips on the creek, which can be arranged either for a whole day or for sundowners. Day trips will include a picnic lunch while sunset trips include cocktails and canapés. Private trips and functions can also be arranged.

 

Tsavo National Park Safari

Tsavo National Park Safari can be organized by African Spice Safaris from the Ocean Sports Hotel. Accommodation will be in tented camps and usually for two or three nights.

 

All the main species of game may be seen in Tsavo; Elephants, Buffalo, Lion, Cheetah, Leopard, Rhino and many different varieties of antelope. Tsavo is also famous for its prolific bird life.
