Ever wonder what's hiding under the waves?
What's inside
Bahari Safari: Coastal Quest is a 52-page, full-colour fact and activity book that follows the Indian Ocean shoreline from Kenya to Tanzania, then out across the water to the Seychelles and Mauritius. Somewhere off this coast, fish make sounds like drums, crabs swarm the sand the moment the tide goes out, and trees grow roots that stick up out of the mud to breathe. Written, illustrated and printed in Kenya.
You'll find out where the ocean glows blue at night, what really happened to the pirate La Buse's hidden treasure, and which fish people thought died out with the dinosaurs. Dive in wherever you like.

Four coastlines, one warm ocean
The journey runs down the coast of Kenya and Tanzania, then out to the islands of the Seychelles and Mauritius — stone towns with secret alleyways, and shipwrecks sitting quietly on the ocean floor.

Hear the ocean — the free online guide
There's a QR code on the last page. Scan it and the book keeps going online — no app, no login, nothing to buy.
- Hear the creatures in the book. The whole reason the ocean isn't silent — a fish that talks by drumming, a whale louder than a jet engine, and a herring that once alarmed a navy.
- All the answers live here. The puzzle solutions aren't printed in the book — they're on the guide page, so nobody can flick to the back and peek.
- Print an explorer certificate. Add a name, pick a creature, and download it when the book is finished.
Bahari Safari was written, illustrated and printed in Kenya by Ruhan Shah and Aman Shah — the same team behind the Mambo Safari Adventure Book. Every place, animal and story in it is real, and comes from time actually spent on this coast.

Shipping & FAQ
Ships worldwide from Nairobi · Free Nairobi deliveryHow do I pay with M-Pesa?
At checkout, choose Pesapal and select M-Pesa to pay in Kenyan Shillings (KES).
Where are the answers?
Online, not in the book. Scan the QR code on the last page and you'll land on the free guide page, where every puzzle solution lives — along with the sound library and the printable certificate. Keeping them off the page means nobody can flick to the back and peek.
Is this the same as the Mambo Safari Adventure Book?
No — it's the sister title. Mambo goes inland across the savanna parks of Kenya and Tanzania; Bahari follows the coast and heads out to the islands. Each one stands completely on its own, though Jellybean and Peanut turn up in both.
Do we need to have been to the coast?
Not at all. It's written to work either way — as a companion on a coastal trip, or as a way to travel there from the sofa.
