Stop At: Mombasa, Mombasa, Coast Province

Tamarind Dhows “Nawalilkher” and “Babulkher”  are authentic ocean going jahazis (traditional Arab sailing boats), formerly used for cargo trading along the Kenyan Coast and to the Arab States.  The Dhows have been completely refurbished as floating restaurants, without losing any of the traditional aspects of the original Dhow.  They are now moored at the Mombasa Tamarind jetty.

The dinner cruise commencing at 6.30 pm, begins with a welcome “Dawa” cocktail as the Dhow sails smoothly towards Fort Jesus.  The twinkling lights of Mombasa and the starlit skies provide idyllic surroundings for a delicious seafood dinner meticulously prepared in Swahili style on the deck in front of the guests.  The resident band on board offers a wide choice of dance music, from the latest hits to the golden oldies as the Dhow gently glides back to the Tamarind Jetty by 10.30 pm.

Duration: 4 hours
