Hi, I'm Mose 👋 My real name is Daniel, but most people know me as Mose. I'm a local Watamu tuk tuk driver, and I help visitors get around easily and enjoy the coast.

Things to Do in Watamu

Watamu is a small coastal village in Kilifi County with white sand bays and a protected reef. Most visitors spend their days between the Watamu beaches, snorkelling trips in Watamu Marine Park, sunsets at Mida Creek and the old Swahili town at Gede Ruins. Further afield you can visit Malindi, walk in Arabuko Sokoke Forest or make the longer trip to Marafa Hell's Kitchen.

Almost all of it is easiest to reach by tuk tuk — Mose can drop you off, wait, or turn the day into a full sightseeing trip.
