The Story Behind Watamu Holidays

Said Bwanaadi – Founder, Bwanaadi Tours

More than twenty years ago, I started with a single vehicle and a simple dream: to help travellers discover the real Kenya. What began as airport transfers for a handful of Italian tourists grew into something much bigger. Word spread – my guests loved the personal touch, the local knowledge, and the genuine care. Within a few years, Bwanaadi Tours became a trusted DMC (Destination Management Company) for the Italian market, handling everything from luxury beach stays to custom safaris.

But Kenya is for everyone, not just one market. That’s why we’ve embraced digitalisation – to open our doors to travellers from around the world. Now, families from the UK, groups from Germany, and adventurers from everywhere can book directly with us, skipping the middlemen. We still offer the same personalised service, the same insider rates at 5‑star hotels like Garoda and Kobe Suit, and the same commitment to showing you the Kenya we love.

We don’t just sell holidays. We share our home. Whether you want to snorkel in Watamu Marine Park, watch the red elephants of Tsavo, or simply relax on the beach – we’ll be there, every step of the way.

"I wanted travellers to feel like family, not tourists. Twenty years later, that’s still our promise."

— Said Bwanaadi

✈️ Kenya eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) – What You Need
Most nationalities require an eTA before travelling to Kenya. It costs $32.50 USD and is approved within 2‑5 days. Important: The eTA itself is NOT a visa. Your actual 90‑day stay permission is granted free of charge by immigration officers at the airport upon arrival. The eTA only allows you to board the flight.
