About Tusitiri Dhow
A dhow is a traditional wooden sailing boat originally built for carrying exotic spices
and goods along the Indian Ocean trade routes.
Tusitiri was hand crafted as a trading vessel over 50 years ago. She has since been
meticulously restored and converted by her current owners, and today she is a majestic and luxurious vessel offering dhow safaris in the Lamu archipelago in Kenya.
Tusitiri is ideal for families or a group of friends wanting a unique and private experience amongst the beautiful and historic islands of the north Kenyan coast.
Tusitiri can be chartered on an exclusive use basis for multi-night dhow safaris for up
to 10 guests, and is also available for day trips from Lamu for up to 25 guests.

Tusitiri Dhow
Life on-board is relaxed and centered on Tusitiri’s broad deck. Sumptuous cushioned seating areas are set up on both sides of the deck by day, and at night, brass lanterns light up the deck and comfortable white linen bedrolls are set up and the day cushions are removed. On Tusitiri, all the beds are star-beds!
**All guests sleep in luxury bedrolls (mattresses and white linen, duvets and pillows) on Tusitiri's wide deck, under the stars. These can be arranged as double or single beds. The large day cushions are arranged around the bedrolls to act as a partition and provide some privacy.
