    The views were so amazing. The coastal city is vibrant, welcoming, and full of life. From the beautiful beaches to the rich Swahili culture, every moment was worth it. Planning was perfect. I especially enjoyed visiting and relaxing at the beach, which has stunning ocean views at the Oluwa Suen Beachfront Hotel in Mtwapa. I was taken there by Moses under his company, Dream Voyage. He is the best. His hospitality, honesty, and customer service were highly recognized.
