Turtle watching & Releasing

Vamizi is home to Green and Hawksbill turtles that come up onto the beach to nest at night. If you’re lucky enough to be there in season, you can witness this amazing sight. When the eggs hatch some baby turtles may be trapped in the sand and these stragglers are saved and released by the Conservation Team; a fantastic activity for children to be involved in!
