Shimoni is a sleepy port and fishing village on the mainland. This is where you’ll arrive to embark and join us on Wasini Island. It has recently been gazetted as a conservation area/national monument.
Did you know that Shimoni boasts the ruins of the first ever prison in East Africa? It’s also home to a number of old buildings that were erected by the Imperial British East Africa Company. It was an important port at the height of the slave trading era in Zanzibar. But now, it’s a thriving traditional port for the trading dhows that still ply their wares between Kenya, mainland Tanzania, and the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar. Don’t forget to take a peek at the historic Shimoni Caves in the Community section of our website.
