Trip Overview

Originally built in Lamu over 20 years ago, Tusitiri is a 20m dhow offering a unique opportunity to sail around the Lamu archipelago in the tradition of Arab sailors plying the spice route in centuries past, combining the romance of this romantic era with every modern-day comfort. 

Constructed of specific local hardwoods, dhows date back to the Afro-Arab civilization, and were traditionally used for trading exotic commodities between the Arabian Gulf, India, Europe and the East African coast.  Tusitiri's spacious decks and gracious furnishings allow up to twelve guests to relax, enjoy a variety of water-sports, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of this little visited area.  During time on board, guests sail and explore throughout the Lamu archipelago, exploring the calm inland waters, with time to stop at deserted beaches and island hideaways.  When conditions allow, Tusitiri raises her majestic sails in time-honored tradition. 

Tusitiri is also equipped with two jet boats, one rigged for game fishing and diving and another used for water skiing and exploring.
