Write on The Charlie Claw’s Wall

[Wasini Island, Kenya]
WELCOME TO THE WALL! When it comes to satisfying our customers on their Charlie Claw’s – Wasini Island “experience”, we do it because word of mouth is still the most effective (and cheapest) method of advertising. That’s why we created The Wall (a la FaceBook)…so that all of our customers around the world can come back, on-line, and share their memorable experiences, or just to say “hello.”

On numerous occasions, this will be the first time that our guests will have experienced snorkeling, dhow sailing, scuba diving, dolphin spotting, our fine dining, and exploring the magic that is Wasini Island. Of course, if you’re interested in joining us for a tour and you have questions that you’d like answered, feel free to post them here.

Join us at our Romantic Headland Hideaway!

Charlie Claw’s at 2009 Travel Expo

[Nairobi, Westlands, Kenya]
GREETINGS FROM
the Sarit Centre here in Westlands where we’re hanging out for 3 days to showcase our Charlie Claw’s – Wasini Island tours to potential guests and tour operators. We were grateful that Kenya’s Tourism minister, Honourable Najib Balala, was able to visit the event. In fact, he even dropped by our booth to say hello since we’re based in Coast province, which is also his back yard.

Although we didn’t win the award for Best Exhibit, we were very proud of our display efforts. See for yourself!

Coral Garden on Wasini Island

[Wasini Island, Kenya]
AFTER OUR guests have enjoyed a tasty seafood and Swahili lunch, they’re free to relax in our Lazy Lagoon pool — or explore the charms of Wasini Island. The coral garden where the Wasini Women’s Boardwalk sits atop is a place that reminds one of Stonehenge — but from a different vantage point.

The Coral Garden on Wasini Island by the Wasini Women's Boardwalk is full of mystery

When the full moon approaches, this area is completely covered by the rising ocean waters. We think it’s magical.
