Pool at Kipungani

Kipungani Explorer

Perched on the edge of Kipungani Bay, where the protected mangroves of Kipungani Creek meet the end of a deserted 12-kilometre beach on the southwestern tip of Lamu Island, Kipungani is the ultimate dream destination for those seeking a true desert-island holiday.

As well as all the usual aspects of coastal relaxation - sun, sand, sea-sports and spectacular seafood - Kipungani offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a coastal culture unchanged for centuries. The property has an extremely close bond with the people of neighbouring Kipungani Village , who will show you their ancient boat-building and mat-weaving techniques, take you fishing or prawn-netting in the remote Dadori Nature Reserve, or show you their model education and health facilities - all built with the support of Kipungani and its guests.

The accommodation consists of 14 luxurious grass and thatch chalets with giant king-size beds and palm furniture, private luxurious ocean-facing verandahs and bathrooms with showers and flush toilets.

The property has a beach-facing terrace, classic cuisine in an ocean-facing dining room, a seawater pool with all-day bar service and personal room stewards always on call.

Activities include snorkelling and diving on local coral reefs (available from November to April), creek and ocean sailing on an Arab dhow, kayaking and windsurfing in the channels and deep-sea fishing on a big game fishing boat.
