Kiwayu Safari Village, Northern Lamu Archipelago

Nestled amongst the mainland dunes, about 30 miles north of Lamu Island, the oasis of Kiwayu Safari Village overlooks a sheltered lagoon to the north of Kiwayu Island. Boasting total seclusion, visited only by fishermen and dhows, accommodation consists of thatched bandas/cottages which blend into the dunes. Cuisine centers around fresh catches of fish, excellent seafood. The theme of Kiwayu Safari Village is informality. Each banda is a spacious suite consisting of a bedroom, dressing room, safari-style shower with running water and lavatory.

Each hammock-strung verandah offers total privacy and panoramic views over the lagoon. The dining-room and bar are also built in the local Bajuni tradition with palm-thatched roofs and woven matting floors. Each of the 18 bandas is within easy reach of the water’s edge, the boats and the bar. Beach walks, foot safaris, snorkeling, dhow trips and picnics, fishing trips, sailing or windsurfing as well as deep-sea fishing are activities available. Most excursions except deep sea fishing are included in the price of accommodation.
