Charlie Claw’s is on Vacation

[Wasini Island, Kenya]
AFTER A BUSY Easter holiday period — and an equally busy month of April — it’s time for us and the cheery Charlie Claw’s team to take a break and recharge our batteries. We re-open, bright eyed and bushy tailed, on 1st July.

Kenya receives well deserved and much needed rains during this time of the year so we close, and everyone rests. By the way, we’re doing some exciting renovations right now which will be to your liking.

To all of our wonderful customers, thanks for your support. Don’t forget to leave a comment or share your Charlie Claw’s – Wasini Island “experience” on our Wall.

WELL, WE HOPE YOU all had a wonderful Valentines day with your loved ones. We had a blast at our Headland “Romantic” Hideaway so, hopefully, we’ll see you there next year — or sooner if you plan on taking a dhow sailing/dolphin spotting/snorkeling/scuba diving expedition with our cheery Charlie Claw’s team. You won’t be disappointed.
