At Kijongo Bay, we are lovers of anything coconut, so we thought we would let you in on our secret on how we make our creamy coconut milk, which is served daily at breakfast.

Being situated right on the beach, surrounded by coconut palms, access to fresh coconuts doesn't pose a problem here at Kijongo Bay.

Coconut milk's rich and creamy taste, with its hint of sweetness and tropical flavour, goes really well with fresh fruit, and is fantastic when added to our freshly made Mocktails and Cocktails.

At Kijongo Bay Resort we have an amazing 140 Coconut trees on the grounds, which are regularly harvested. The latest harvest of 78 trees yielded over 1000 coconuts!

So, what do we do with all these coconuts?

In Tanzania, Green Turtles, (Chelonia mydas), during the months of April to July, often appear on Sange Beach, home to Kijongo Bay Resort, to lay their eggs. This year, Kijongo Bay Resort, with the assistance of Sea Sense, have again become custodians for several Green Turtle nests. Sange Beach, Pangani, is one of only a handful of beaches on the Tanzanian mainland where Green Turtles come ashore to lay their eggs.
