Located about two and half hours from Mombasa, within the Shimoni archipelago, close to the border with Tanzania, the base is situated on Wasini Island, adjacent to the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Protected Area, protecting Kenya’s finest coral reefs. Accommodation is in shared dormitories with bunk beds, sleeping up to 8, in a locally built house with a separate communal ‘banda’ (traditional thatch hut) for cooking and dinning. Electricity is limited, from solar panels with generator back up, and is reserved for expedition needs. During the coastal forest research you will be at our satellite base in Shimoni, in shared tents, where electricity is available.
