A Journey Through Time: The Evolution of Shanzu’s Land
Shanzu, a coastal gem along Kenya’s Mombasa shoreline, is today synonymous with luxurious beachfront resorts, vibrant tourism, and stunning ocean views. However, before it became a sought-after holiday destination, Shanzu’s landscape had a deep-rooted agrarian history—one shaped by sprawling coconut plantations, traditional farming, and the livelihoods of local Swahili communities. This transformation from an agricultural hub to a tourism hotspot reflects the dynamic evolution of Kenya’s coastal economy and culture.
