“I always loved fishing trips, but in Shela with Babu was really different. I met Babu as soon as i arrived and he treated my like family from the get go. He simply asked me "what is your dream catch my friend"? I said "Big GT man" and he smiled and replied "I'll make it happen" ... and he delivered, man did he deliver, we caught a lot of big fish and a lot of different species. Incredible capitain and fishing skills, and what an incredible guy. Can't wait to be back and have fun again.”

Fishing with Babu was an experience I won’t forget. It wasn’t just a fishing trip; it was a day filled with peace, wisdom, and a deep connection with nature. From the moment I met Babu, I knew this would be something special.
Babu is a local fisherman who has spent his entire life on the water. His rough hands and calm eyes reflect years of experience. As we set out on the boat together, I quickly realized I would learn much more than just fishing.
The fishing itself was beautiful, but what truly made this day special was how Babu taught me to observe, listen, and feel. The silence was never uncomfortable; it was a connection with nature that I had never felt so deeply before.
By the end of the day, I realized I had gained something far more valuable: a new appreciation for the simplicity and beauty of life. Babu showed me how to be present in the moment.
Fishing with Babu was a profound experience for me. It not only taught me new fishing techniques but also gave me a fresh perspective on life. If you ever get the chance to go out on the water with someone like Babu, don’t hesitate.

Babu and his wife organized an 8 days fishing experience for us and we had an amazing time. Babu is a skillful captain who can read the sea and knows the right fishing spots. We had the opportunity to catch many different species of beautiful fish. Definitely want to go back if I have the chance.

My kids LOVE fishing with Babu and so do I. He brings magic to the whole experience. He’s a great teacher, he knows the ocean, he deeply respects nature and above all else, he knows how to catch fish! Every time we come to Lamu we fish with him.
