Embark on an enriching journey through Nakupenda and Prison Island for an unforgettable day trip.



Nakupenda in Swahili signifies "I Love You." This comprehensive day excursion encompasses an array of activities centered around Nakupenda Sand Bank and Prison Island. Upon arrival at Nakupenda Sand Bank, visitors are invited to set up a local tent to enjoy shade, followed by engaging in various water sports such as swimming, video shooting, and photography. During these moments of enjoyment, our skilled local chefs prepare a delightful spread featuring tropical fruits alongside a sumptuous lunch, which includes seafood delicacies.

Following the exploration of Nakupenda Sand Bank, guests proceed to explore the secluded Prison Island. Here, history comes alive as you learn about the Arab captives who were imprisoned on this island due to their defiance and subsequently served as a quarantine facility for individuals afflicted with yellow fever and smallpox epidemics.

As the day draws to a close, participants can witness the magnificent Land Giants Tortoises, whose origins trace back to Seychelles. This concluding segment offers an unforgettable finale to a memorable adventure through the rich tapestry of East Africa's past and present landscapes.
