Manda Bay, Manda Island

Formerly Blue Safari Club owned by the Brighetti family, situated on a peninsula on the North-Western tip of Manda Island near Lamu, it lies in calm inshore waters on a long sandy protected beach. The lodge has 10 spacious bandas with large cedar wood beds – 5 double and 5 twins (extra beds and baby cots available), luxurious mosquito nets and ensuite bathrooms. 5 rooms are set right on the seafront and five are set in-between and slightly behind the ocean rooms on higher ground. Guests are hosted by Andy & Caragh Roberts.

The rooms have makuti roofs, and matting walls and floors and are set in amongst coconut palms, acacias and tamarind trees, overlooking the sandy beaches and the bay. The rooms have been opened up to maximize the views and catch the breeze. Hot and cold running water is now piped to all the rooms.

The rooms have table fans and individual safes. 220/240 volt generator power supply. New soft furnishings, cutlery and crockery give the place a bright new look and fresh flowers add a colourful touch. The lodge previously relied on well and rainwater but recently a de-salination unit has been installed to guarantee fresh water at all times. Drinking water is provided in the rooms. Manda Bay has safe swimming, long empty beaches for hassle-free walking (no beach boys or curio shops) with own security.

Cuisine naturally features a marine flavour – freshly caught tuna, giant crab or lobster are the order of the day, but individual needs and flexible mealtimes are designed  to fit in with guests requirements.

An experienced team and range of equipment means that there is a large variety of activities which include: water skiing including small skis for children, windsurfing and sailing, diving and snorkeling, creek fishing, trips to Siyu Fort and lamu, bicycling and deep sea fishing.
