Kiwayu Safari
Village
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 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.
