The Kisite Marine National Park with an area of 28 km² is located on the southern coast of Kenya near the border with Tanzania. The species-rich coral reef provides a habitat for over 250 species of fish as well as sea turtles and dolphins! Seasonally you can even see whale sharks and humpback whales.
Your excursion:
In the morning at 07:10 a.m. we will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to the pier in Shimoni. There you board the Dhow Pili Pipa. You will be welcomed with tea, coffee and biscuits and informed about the daily routine. Then the boat trip to Kisite Marine Park begins.
You will receive individual advice on your snorkeling experiences and non-swimmers are also welcome to take part in this day tour. Life jackets and snorkeling equipment are provided!
Accompanied and guided by the crew, you can enjoy extensive snorkeling and viewing the underwater world in shallow areas above the colorful coral reef.

Everything was well organized and went really well. The lodge was very nice, the rooms were very clean and the food was excellent. We were also lucky enough to see a lot of animals. A very special thank you and many greetings to our very good guide Rufus. He explained a lot to us and showed us a lot. Many thanks also to Evi with whom we booked the tour. When we come back to Kenya, DM Tours will definitely be our first choice for a safari. Best wishes to the whole DM team from Eva and Josef Sebastian Gloria2024-11-16 We had a fantastic 20.10-day private safari through Tsavo West, Amboseli and Taita Hills with our driver Katana on October 4th. It was very impressive!!! Thanks to Katana, we were lucky enough to see cheetahs and lions as well as elephants, zebras, giraffes, etc. The individual camps and lodges were fantastic. A big thank you to the DM Tours team. Super organized, from the advance booking through Manuela to the surprise of a bottle of champagne at sunset on the last evening!!! Thank you so much!!! Harald Kohl2024-10-23 Hello, my dream has come true...7 days of safari...wild animals without end...A big compliment to Katana, our guide, who discussed the game drives with us beforehand, whether we wanted to leave before breakfast, etc...He is the first person I know who can drive a car and scan the area and show us hidden animals...simply GREAT.... Many thanks from us, SOLVEIG, GINA, TORBEN & HARALD Nicki S2024-10-10 Had a great 4 days/3 nights safari. Loved the accommodation at Severin Safari Camp and Sentrim Safari Lodge!! Both very special (one ungated, the other one directly at a waterhole with look-out) extremely friendly staff, very clean. We had an excellent driver (James), who even went beyond the necessary to make sure we got to see lion cubs and a cheetah. We are extremely happy and would definitely go with dm and James again. Absolutely recommended! Isabel Fidomski2024-09-26 We had a fantastic six-day safari in Tsavo West, Amboseli, Naivasha and Mssai Mara. Our guide Joseph is an incredibly good driver and very experienced in the various parks. This is our sixth time in Kenya and we have never been lucky enough to see the Big Five. With Joseph we were finally able to see the long-awaited black rhino. We also saw lions feeding, a cheetah and leopards. If we book another safari, we will gladly do so through DM Tours and preferably with Joseph as our guide. We were well advised and looked after from start to finish. Thank you for everything and see you next time. Markus2024-09-25 We had a wonderful safari that was very well organized. Both the accommodation and the process itself were just perfect. Many thanks to our driver and guide Morris, he always knew exactly where the animals were and what they were going to do next. Simply the best. We would go on safari with DM again in a heartbeat. Stefanie Breuer2024-09-23 Our 3-day safari in Taita Hills and Tsavo East was an incredibly great experience. There were four of us and we stayed at the Salt Lick Lodge and Sentrim Camp. Our driver Justin was always punctual and very friendly. He made a lot of effort to find as many animals as possible with us, explained a lot to us and always brought us safely to our next destination. The great network of the various drivers in the area was very helpful. Justin always received a quick report of interesting sightings. The accommodation was great. The Salt Lick Lodge is something very special. The whole complex is very special and the food is really good. In Sentrim Camp we were able to observe various animals at the watering hole and hear the lions roar at night. Many thanks to the DM Tours team for the great organization and to Justin for the fantastic implementation. We will look back on the trip with fondness. Best wishes. Andreas Kutzner2024-09-23 Great The DM Tour safari was a complete success. The guide James answered every question, he was very knowledgeable and could explain everything!
