You will be met and transferred to Nairobi’s Wilson Field to depart on the scheduled 1:15pm flight to the Manda Island Airstrip. Upon arrival , you will be met and proceed by speedboat for a 25 minute journey to Kipungani Bay. Kipungani Bay has 15 spacious thatched bungalows made entirely of natural materials and overlooking the palm-fringed Indian Ocean. There are no windows or doors, just grass mats that roll down. Most bungalows have private verandahs where you can relax on funzi beds bedecked with colorful cushions. Behind the bedroom is a dressing area with handwash basin and separate rooms for flush toilet and fresh water shower (unheated). Most cottages have king-size beds as this is a perfect retreat for honeymooners or anyone wanting a quiet retreat to the end of their safari. Kipungani is known for its wonderful food and meals are served in the open-air dining room. Your days here can be spent swimming, beach-combing, sailing, wind surfing, snorkeling or just lazing by the pool. After settling in enjoy a sundowner before dinner.
You have two more leisurely days to enjoy the beach and activities available at Kipungani. For a change of pace, you may also take a traditional dhow and sail to the town of Lamu, the oldest surviving town on the coast of East Africa. The old stone town has narrow winding streets, historic mosques and a colorful market. There are no cars allowed on the island, so transportation is by donkey or dhow. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.
