Camp Details
The Enasoit Collection story began with a Norwegian family’s love for Africa. Born out of a spirit of adventure, their safari travels evolved into a lifelong journey of exploring Africa’s wild spaces and developing and supporting community and wildlife conservation projects in East Africa.
Thirty years ago the family set down more permanent roots in Kenya and created two enchanting Kenyan retreats. Tusitiri Dhow, a restored traditional dhow based in the Lamu Archipelago, and Enasoit, a private wildlife reserve and luxury tented camp in the foothills of Mount Kenya. Both properties are available for exclusive hire.
Tusitiri Dhow is the family’s coastal home, and their history and love for Kenya is intimately felt through the dhow’s charm and the professionalism of the crew, many of whom have sailed onboard Tusitiri for over twenty years. Tusitiri is one of East Africa’s last large trading dhows and through Tusitiri’s restoration a special part of Kenya’s Swahili cultural heritage is preserved.
WHY CHOOSE TUSITIRI DHOW?
- Tusitiri is available for multi day safaris as well as one or half day excursions from Lamu.
- All safaris on Tusitiri, whether day excursions or for one or more nights, are booked on an exclusive basis, and are tailor-made for each booking depending on guests interests as well as the seasons and the tides.

- Nights are spent on white linen bedrolls under the stars and meals, usually fresh seafood and local produce, accompanied by excellent house wines, are taken al fresco on the deck.
