Situated 76 km south of Likoma, near the Kenya-Tanzanian border, the village of Shimoni is renowned for the famous Shimoni Caves where wooden crates that were used to transport slaves to Arabia can be found.
Shimoni is also the launching point for Wasini Island which is located just a few minutes from the village.

Kenya's big game fishing, a kind of fishing that uses boats to catch big open-water species, is concentrated in Malindi,Watamu and Shimoni areas.
Although game fishing along the Kenya coastline is possible throughout the year, there are two very definite seasons for the sport. These are the Yellowfin Tuna season which runs from August through the end of October and the marlin season which runs from December to mid March.
On the other hand, the billfish arrives in large numbers at the Kenya coastline when the north east monsoon blows. September and October are recognised as months for good catches of tuna and wahoo, while December to March as the best season for sailfish and marlin, although billfish are caught throughout the year.
