PAT HEMPHILL'S SEA ADVENTURES These 2 adjoining lodges overlook the Pemba Channel at Shimoni, 80 km South of Mombasa, a deep-water area better known for marlin and large shark than for general gamefishing. This is a rural & little developed part of the Kenya Coast, with the nearest shopping centre of Diani Beach 40 minutes away by road. Although at the water's edge, neither lodge has a real beach, but there are good beaches and excellent snorkelling/scuba diving on nearby offshore islands. The Shimba Hills Game reserve, which offers not only wildlife but also spectacular views out over the coast, is only 90 minutes away by road, making day trips feasible. Packages include flights on Kenya Airways ex Jhb, SA dep tax, CNS shirt, Mombasa/Shimoni t'fers, & seven nights full board accommodation. Dbn/Cpt add-ons available.
