Green Turtle Happenings at Kijongo Bay

If you turn back time, to around 110 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, turtles had already begun to evolve.

And, since evolving, so long ago, turtles haven't changed much.

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.
