Kiwayu Safari Village - Kenya

KIWAYU SAFARI VILLAGE Kiwayu lies on the northern Kenya mainland facing over an expansive bay south to Kiwayu Island.It is 35 air miles north of Lamu and 310 miles from Nairobi. Lamu can be reached by speed boat (1.50hr)or by air and Nairobi by Safari Link from Wilson airport – a 1hr 50 min flight.

Aircraft lands on our airstrip with a 5 minute transfer by 4-wheel drive vehicle across the dunes. In November Safari Link flies on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Kiwayu has adhered strictly to the local style: open “bandas” (cottages) consisting of a large double bed and main area, washing and showering facilities and 2 verandas.

Everything is built in the local Swahili style of palm thatch, woven palm matting and Swahili furnishings. Activities include snorkelling, water skiing, picnics on nearby shores, mangrove channel fishing and deep sea fishing as well as game walks over the dunes. Great attention is paid to our cuisine which has been labelled the best in East Africa. Italian-orientated it includes fresh pasta, fresh fish, lobster and crab and the best of Kenya’s fruit and vegetables flown in from Nairobi.

We have set up a Community and Conservation programme with Mkokoni, our local village, and have installed computers and solar lighting for the students. We are also anxious to develop the conservation of the wildlife and habitat including the Game Reserve and the Marine Reserve. We work in conjunction with the Kenya Wildlife Services. Kiwayu is closed after 15 April and re-opens on 1st August.
