About Funzi Island
There are no present-day modern beach resorts with high-end designs in Funzi but simple properties that reflect the influence of the local community and coastal architecture as it has permanent inhabitants with approximately 1500 members of the Shirazi Tribe, the majority of which are Muslims and sustained on fishing and agriculture.
Funzi Island is known for its pristine beaches and as Kenya's best nesting site for a variety of sea turtles, such as green turtle, Chelonia mydas, hawksbill, Eretmochelys imbricata, and leatherback, Dermochelys coriacea which are classified as either endangered or critically endangered but are found on Funzi due to a low degree of human disturbance on the natural sandy beaches
