Wasini Island

Location: ?

This island is located some 75 Km off Mombasa.Am not sure which district it lies.This island according to Wikipedia has about 1500 inhabitants from a bantu tribe called Vumba.It is a forgotten island,and i can bet 98% of the people in government do not know it exists.

I have been to this island!It looks a bit scary the way it's isolated from the mainland and the interior of the island is not developed enough.

Bw. Kenguy, nakuunga mkono kwa dhati! I think they should be left as is.
sometimes developments = pollution etc.
