The beauty of Kipungani is that it is so different from 'normal life' (normal life being in the UK). The rooms are beachfront, thatched bandas. The structures are made exclusively of drift wood and plaited palms- no glass, concrete or metal in sight, save for the few vital amenities.
The pool is perfectly clean (witness the impressive daily routine whilst...

My wife and I stayed at the Kippungani Explorer in August, at the end of a 3 week backpacking adventure round East Africa. The surroundings are private, tranquil and the personal attention lavished by the staff who take care to learn your individual preferences made our stay here the ideal contrast to safari adventures.
Unfortunately, our stay at Kipungani coincided...

Situated about 20 minutes by speedboat from Lamu airport to the south of the island - Kipungani Explorer is a beautiful restful oasis. The bandas are set just back from the beach - ours was spotlessly clean, simply and tastefully decorated with natural materials, a lovely large bed, and a verandah area at the front of the banda where you...

A little oasis around the corner from Lamu town. This place has excellent views, great food, a lovely beach, amazing service and just takes the stress out of your muscles as you bathe in the sun. Don't miss viewing the stars with the staff. Enjoy!

It was a lovely surprise when we arrived, just paradise, paradise. Staff were excellent, could not do enough for you and were very knowledgeable and helpful. Bandas (chalet) very comfortable and clean, in lovely surroundings. Hope to return soon.

We just got back from Kipungani Lamu today and already we are planning when we can go back next.
It was absolutely incredible and definitely the photographs available online do not do it justice. The rooms are much bigger than the photos indicate, and wonderfully laid out. The beach is truly gorgeous and there wasn't one piece of seaweed in...

I landed at Manda airstrip, on a Safarilink 2 hour flight from Wilson, Nairobi. The grass airstrip was a bit bumpy, but not too bad. Was met by Kipungani's representative, and escorted down to the waiting boat, which would take me on the 30 minute ride to Kipungani.
When you approach Kipungani, all you can think is 'wow'. It is...

What a fantastic place! Everything was excellent, the staff were great (in particular Francis the bartender and our waiter David), food was excellent, rooms amazing. The only drawback was the excursions were a bit pricey! Kshs 3000/person just to go to Lamu town and back, and Kshs 6000/person to snorkel with dolphins.
