Join us in experiencing an insight into the mystery and wonder of Mijikenda cultural heritage. A glimpse into the stories, beliefs and systems that have shaped this community.  At our heart lies 'Panga ya Saidi', the oldest known human burial site in Africa, in one of the last few fragments of coastal forest in the region.

Archaeologists from National Museums of Kenya and the Max Planck Research Institute discovered the remains of a child whom they named 'Mtoto'. Child in Kiswahili. The Kauma community who live in the locality have renamed the child ‘Mbitsi’ , which translates into 'raw', unripe', 'tender'. 

We are committed to protecting this fragile eco-system, and therefore welcome those who are curious, respectful and adventurous into our care.
