Humpback Whales transform Watamu into a top tourist destination
Kenya's reputation as a prime tourist destination is often synonymous with its savannahs, packed with the "Big Five" and the majestic sights of the Great Migration.
However, a lesser-known but equally captivating spectacle has been transforming the coastal town of Watamu into a burgeoning tourist hotspot: the humpback whale migration.
This annual event is not just a marvel of nature but also a testament to Kenya’s growing attraction in the global tourism arena.
Watamu, located on the Kenyan coast, has long been celebrated for its pristine beaches and vibrant marine life.
Yet, the arrival of humpback whales, which migrate through these waters from June to October, has introduced a new dimension to the region's tourism landscape.
