Write a guest post for our blog and, if we select and publish it, we’ll reward your creativity with a 2 nights stay at The Charming Lonno Lodge in one of our Deluxe Rooms. Not bad at all, uh?
Your guest post will be published on our blog mentioning your name and with a link to one of your social accounts or website, and with your profile picture too (if you want). It should be an exciting, entertaining, enchanting post to tease tourists interested in discovering Watamu, the ocean coast, and the whole Kenya!
What should your post be about? Well, here is where you creativity can express itself with [almost] no limits! We’re ready to welcome posts on Watamu or the beauty of Kenya, articles on what a tourist can expect on the coast or on safari, hints on how to prepare for a trip on a dhow or how save turtles, your fantasy is the sky!

A few examples (but please do not limit yourself to these examples) are:

  • 6 places to discover in Watamu
  • 7 reasons to visit Watamu in November
  • You know the big five. What about the small five?
  • 5 things you didn’t know about the Coast
  • What to pack for a 3 days Safari
  • How to get a permit for my drone
  • Beers of Kenya, taste a Tusker
  • The Day Anthony Bourdain visited Kenya
  • How to move around in Kenya (boda-bodas, tuk-tuks, matatus, taxis, Uber, ..)
  • etc. etc. etc.
