Robinson Island

Departure directly from your accommodation at 9.30 am. Cross Malindi and continue in the direction of Che Shale, also known as "Golden Sand" for its shoreline that takes on the color of gold, where you can make a first stop to discover one of the most beautiful beaches on the coast. We then continue to Ngomeni, where there is the salt factory, a large expanse of salt pans rich in shrimps and pink flamingos, which can be admired along the way.

We proceed in the direction of Robinson Island, crossing a dirt road that runs along the salt lake of Gongini, a place frequented by many species of birds including herons, egrets and flamingos.

We leave the car near a lagoon, where there is a certain "Charon" who, with his canoe, ferries tourists into the fantastic landscape of the island. Sometimes, due to low tide, the island can be reached on foot through the mangrove lagoon.

Once on the island, while waiting for lunch, you can relax on the beach or take a walk to the fishing village.

Lunch will be served at Coco Beach, a charming typical African restaurant, built with a makuti roof. The menu is based on rice with octopus sauce, giant red crabs typical of Robinson Island, local clams and oysters au gratin with coconut, grilled fish, tropical fruit and typical Arabic coffee.

After lunch, sofas and hammocks are available for a bit of relaxation, until about 15.00, when you leave the island. The return is scheduled around 4.30 pm.
