Mbasa Island

I say it again, you want to visit Mbita, am the person you should be talking to, this is not a hype rated information on a place you would regret been around, beautiful in a raw and untouched way.

People here are lovely, in a quite honest way, first impressions would almost likely be the correct ones, and any preferential treatment of visitors is always to the positive end.
If you love the lake, trekking, and one cold beer on the hill watching the sunset, am sure you would think of a thousand places where you would do this and i bet you Mbita would not be in that list, not because you will not want it there , it because you don't know the place. It actually wont be in your usual tour guide books, which makes me think, Kenyans and foreign tourists have been denied access to the best of what this place offers. The few people i have met, who get to this place, someone did tell them about, and now am doing the same, giving you a personalized information the next time Kenya is in your list.
Mbasa Island is on your way to Takawiri Island, full of bird life, a haven for birdwatchers, if you could have your boat floating on the vicinity of the island, and as all birdwatcher would have experienced at any one time the birdshit is something you cant avoid!

Have a great start in the week, and enjoy the rest of it.
