Trip on the Kenyan Coast 1.0.1 he Kenyan Coast is a well-known destination for deep sea game fishing that challenges the most experienced anglers but can be a great experience to satisfy beginners who want a high-energy beach vacation on the Indian Ocean.

First, you need to book your trip by contacting one of the many local charter companies who offer deep sea fishing, according to your holiday's destination. Deep sea fishing tours are usually offered as a four, six- and eight-hours excursion. Most of the charters are already equipped with everything you need as an angler. This includes life jackets, rods, reels, bait, lures, fishing licenses etc.

On the Kenyan Coast, the most common fishing method is trolling, which consists of dragging the line on the surface of the ocean. This method of fishing attracts all kinds of fish from King Fish, Dorado to Marlin Other methods include jigging, casting and live baiting.

Depending on your previous experiences and preferences you could always ask the fishing companies on what they can offer and what's best for the season to maximise your chance on hooking a fish.

Whether you are alone, with your family or group of friends? Everything is possible, ask the fishing establishments for availability, confirm the booking (they usually ask for at least a deposit) and they will organise the rest for you. Once you are happy with your choice, make sure you are awake bright and early on D day!!

D-day: Early morning for sure but the view of the sunrise on the ocean is stunning. Make sure you are well equipped to protect yourself from the sun. On a side note try not to be hung over and if you are sea sick, there are over the counter tablets that can help you out. The company usually provide soft drink on board. If you have planned for a full day trip (or if you are hungry after few hours), you should have arranged for a lunch box. Most of the companies can do it for you, they just need to know beforehand!

Tight lines!

It is time to go on the boat, meet the crew and enjoy.

Beginners are taught the fundamentals of fishing in the Indian Ocean. The crew are setting up the boat, moving fast around you, going back and forth in the boat and coming back with colourful lures, rods, rigging bait and having a good chat on knowing their clients.

After a short time in shore, the captain is heading now to the “mlango”, the only place where the reef allows us to go offshore. (Not all areas of the coast have his) Going at a speed of 6 to 8 knots, you are now going out into the deep sea! Whilst you are not fishing or waiting for a strike watch the water for migrating whale shark, humpback whale and schools of dolphins. The crew would point them out for you and also tell you about certain landmarks and fishing spots along the way.

No matter when you visit, you always have a chance to catch dorado, kingfish, barracuda. In February and March, black and blue marlins are caught in blue waters closer to seashore, and at the end of September and early October till December is when the sailfish, known as “suli suli” by the locals, are most abundant. Hooking one of these fish is the most difficult part of the experience, but once you do, the great sailfish jumps into the air, giving you quite a show while you reel it to the boat. From December through March, the iconic marlins are in the area and a great trophy fish.

After some silence and sound of the boat sailing through the ocean. Pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!, the sound of a strike the reel screams into action and the rod bends to a mysterious force pulling away the lure far away from the boat. Congratulations!! The fish is hooked. The crew jumps into action and takes control of the rod, they will ask you to sit on the fighting chair, hold the rod and start reeling with up and down movements. Sitting in the fighting chair is an exhilarating experience and may last for 10 minutes to hours of a fight depending on the size and type of fish.

You must know the fishing law regulations, what to catch and not to catch. Fishing for billfish and shark on the Kenyan coast follows a tag and release program, and the Kenyan coast is the centrepiece of many conservation organizations, with the largest being Kenya Association of Sea Anglers, International Game Fish Association and African Billfish Foundation.

After your hours out at sea, it's time to go back to the mainland. Hopefully, you are coming back with a boat full of fish, take pictures and put it in your records. if not, we are sure that you still enjoyed your trip, not without a small frustration feeling which will bring you back for more. Game fishing does not guarantee a catch, the same way a Safari in the National parks does not guarantee a siting of Lions, Leopards etc. However, the experience is out of this world and what a way to be in touch with mother nature.

KOKKOS CAFE

K

okkos Cafe & Bistro has become a local haunt of mine, every time I find myself in my favourite seaside town of Diani. Now an institution amongst tourists and locals alike, I know every time I walk in I'll catch the regulars sitting at the beautiful wooden bar/coffee counter, nursing their favourite tipple and enjoying the days special. Sometimes I'm lucky, and I'll catch Kokkos hosting one of their infamous events, a darts night, a koroga competition always merry and filled with raucous laughter that you can probably hear all the way in Galu!

Hiten Ravji, the owner, started Kokkos in 2014 when he recognised the need in Diani for a cafe sort of place which, up until then, didn't exist. There was no place where locals could go to for a quick coffee and a pastry in the mornings, but also for a sumptuous dinner and fun filled evening. These sorts of restaurants are so readily available now in Nairobi and other parts of the world.

After studying hospitality in Cape Town, and culinary arts in Vancouver, and drawing inspiration from the cute coffee shops lining the streets of Paris and Rome, he realised he could combine both his passion for good food with the need in the market to create a lively, yet efficient and homely spot for all to enjoy.

The Kokkos menu was inspired by things that were quick to throw together, yet diverse enough to keep everyone happy (Hitens personal favourite being the Eggs Benedict). The dishes draw inspiration from all over the world, with kung pao chicken from China, American inspired burgers, Viennese Schnitzels, Italian pastas and of course, Indian curries. The counter also always has a gorgeous display of at least 14 different types pastries on offer, freshly made each day. Kokkos has even started supplying wedding cakes as well for the happy couples that choose Diani as their wedding venue of choice for their big day.

Curious behind the dish named Mummy's Samosas, I asked Hiten to explain further. His mum, he said, was one of the main inspirations behind his venture into the culinary arts, being such a fantastic cook herself. Her curries and samosas have always been celebrated in Diani Town (I know this personally, I've tried them myself and they are delicious). So when Hiten opened his own place - Mum had to provide these dishes as, in his own words, no one could make them better!

I've tried various dishes off the menu at Kokkos from my regular jaunts and visits, and my favourites include the smoked sailďŹ sh, the calamari tails, the eggs Benedict and the kung pao chicken. The ďŹ sh and seafood, as you would expect, is beautifully fresh and tender with no unpleasant aftertaste that you sometimes get from the frozen stuff in Nairobi. The eggs Benedict ďŹ lls you up and gets you ready to face a hot day in the Diani sun with it's beautifully light, whipped hollandaise. Finally, the kung pao chicken is my favourite evening meal, with a glass of chilled wine ready too cool down the heat from the spices on my tongue.

As an added incentive, Kokkos is celebrating it's 5th birthday this year by offering the Kokkos anniversary burger for 500 KES for the whole month of December. They are also throwing an epic party on the 14th of December that I'm sure will be legendary.

I hope to see you there!

A Project for Physically Disabled

B

ombolulu Workshops was formed in 1969 in Mariakani, in Coast Province by the Methodist Church, Ministry of Social Services, the private sector and Peace Corps to create employment for people with disability. In the early 1970's the project was transferred to the Association for the Physically Disabled of Kenya (APDK).

As a project of the APDK, the name was changed to Bombolulu Workshops and Cultural Center and the project was relocated to Mombasa, off the Mombasa/Malindi highway.

At the Coast Province, the APDK has a total of five projects and all in their different ways pursue to accomplish the same mission;

To enable persons with disabilities overcome their physical limitations and empower them economically and socially to become selfreliant and fully integrated members of their communities.

Since its inception, the project has trained over 500 physically handicapped, blind and deaf persons in crafts who have been reintegrated into their communities. The direct beneficiaries of the Centre are 50 permanent employees and 40 contracted workers. In addition, these employees and workers support approximately 500 dependants in form of spouses and children as well as about 500 close relatives such as parents, brothers and sisters.

Most of the production in the four sheltered workshops where handicrafts are produced is done by hands and hand tools. The production systems and material strive to adhere to environmental concerns – use of recycle materials in some of the handicrafts and toxic free dyes in our screen printing.

Jewellery are made of locally available raw materials as well as semi- precious stones and other form of beads, fashion wear made of Kenyan cotton and hand printed, was well as leather products such as canvas bags, sandals, leather belts etc. Finally, woodcarvings that include unique designs made from sustainable hardwood from managed tree plantations. The workshops have a production capacity of nearly 280,000 separate items per annum.

Visit the workshops in Mombasa during your stay to buy beautiful and unique products for Christmas or any other occasion!

Workers incomes are directly derived from the sales of the products, as about 50% are employed on piecework basis, as such more orders received means an income for the piece workers as well as sustainability of the project. 90% of the workers are housed within the compound and receive medical benefit and school fees support for their children. The centre also runs a clinic and nursery school for the children of the workers.

All these handicrafts are produced for both local (40%) and export market (60% of revenue). Many years of successful exporting have established the workshops as a reliable supplier and the project is a m e m b e r o f t h e W F T O ( Wo r l d F a i r Tr a d e Organization). Locally, the handicraft is sold through their outlet located within their premise and mobile shop i.e. exhibitions in the various hotels of Mombasa, as well as individual hotels and boutiques all over Kenya.

“The ripple effect of any growth in this workshop has great positive impact on several families and citizens of Kenya and has greatly contributed to the economy at large.”

“It all goes to show that given an opportunity disability is not inability; Bombolulu Workshops is a living example of this.”

SPONSORSHIP Since the need by the disabled people to be empowered through mobility is ever on the rise and they constantly receive requests for these appliances, it is their sincerely appeal to the sponsors, donors, well-wishers and friends to kindly consider sponsoring a disabled person.
