What Our Past Clients Are Saying: "I will tell all my friends and family about your company. I was initially a little worried about dealing with a travel agency directly in Africa, but now I know that Africa Point is very professional and a reputable company. This trip was for my husband's 50th birthday, and we had a trip of a lifetime, thanks to Africa Point."

HEMINGWAYS FISHING: Hemingways is widely known as the ideal venue for big-game fishing trips, owing to the diverse nature of the Indian Ocean. The Watamu area boasts a large number of fishing grounds of widely differing nature, all within a short steam of port. These include oceanic tidal rips, shallow bands, and undersea mountains. The fishing season is from July through to mid April. The southeast wind (Kusi) blows from mid March to sometime in November and is cooler than the northeast wind (Kaskazi) which blows the rest of the time. The seas are warmer and calmer during the Kaskazi months. The main Billfish (Sailfish and Marlin) season runs from November to mid/late March but Sailfish and Black Marlin often come inshore in numbers in August. Hemingways supports a number of local conservation initiatives like the Watamu Marine Conservation, Gedi Ruins, the Turtle Watch and offers a range of activities such as snorkelling, Dolphin trips, bird watching at Mida Creek and fascinating walks through Arubuko Sukoke Forest.
