Diani: Tour the African pool map in Tiwi area

Diani: Tour the African pool map in Tiwi area

Tiwi Beach: Inside Secluded Africa-Shaped Pool in Kenya. While some are popular and often crowded, others are secluded and are known to the locals, plus a few adventurous travellers. One of the hidden gems is Tiwi beach in Kwale County, home to a pool shaped like the African continent. It is a site to behold, as the pool includes a representation of the island of Madagascar The secluded pool is described as one of the magnificent wonders of the nation. It is visible in low tides when you can distinctly see the African map. According to some residents, tourists go to the pool for therapy, and others see it as a sacred shrine. Tourists visiting the area, are advised to ask for a guide for safety since it is far from the main road. They are also advised to wear beach shoes to avoid the numerous sea urchins. "The Tiwi Africa Pool is a miracle of nature, carved by the sea and the wind out of the coral reef," described Wildlife Kenya Safari. Adding to the picturesque site is a cliff next to the pool where divers practice their swimming skills. Reportedly, you can swim through a cave from East Africa to Madagascar. While exploring the pool you will spot octopuses, starfish, and surgeon fish, among other marine creatures. Aside from the mind-blowing pool, Tiwi beach is half an hour away from the Diani Beach Tiwi beach is also a perfect place for snorkeling and diving. This is made possible by the warm weather in the area. The trip takes place during low tide so crossing the river is as easy as crossing a small gentle stream.We will take an easy , slow , scenic 10minutes TukTuk ride through beautiful Tiwi, you get to have a feel of how the local community lives in this area, during the ride. We will then take a 10min BEACH walk to the African pool from where the motorbike leaves us.On the walk we will pass through significant caves and cliffs, with different shapes and forms carved by the ocean waves continously slapping on them during high tide. You will notice lots of smaller pools that are home to tiny colouful fish and exotic sea life such as sea spiders, the red crab, sea urchins and sea cucumber. Almost feels like a natural aquarium.At the African pool we will swim and soak in the sun for about an hour before heading back to the starting point If you are daring enough you could climb up the nearby cliffs and dive into the pool.
