Jane Spilsbury spent months recording whales sightings in coastal town Watamu, Kenya after learning of their existence from local fishermen.
Up until recently, most travelers, and even some locals, had no inkling of the aquatic mammals that occupy or pass through Kenya's waters.
Known as a safari destination, with the wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara between July and September considered its pinnacle, the African nation's expansive marine life was something only fishermen knew the true extent of.

But largely thanks to the efforts of a former lawyer from London, the country now has a burgeoning marine tourism industry, with tourists seeking out the coastal town of Watamu, located 140 kilometers north of Mombasa, for its humpback whales.
