Kenya

Accommodation

• 16 spacious en suite cottages with mosquito nets and overhead fans
• Large verandah complete with hammocks and Lamu beds

Overlooking the calm waters of Manda Bay, formerly the Blue Safari Club, Manda Bay has been renovated and reopened under new management. Manda Bay Resort is on a secluded peninsular, close to ancient Lamu Town and neighbouring Shela but far enough away from the bustle to enjoy total privacy.

Surrounded by magnificent coral gardens, empty beaches and indigenous woodland, Manda Bay Resort is a glorious destination for both active and leisurely holidays.

It has its own airstrip and there are three scheduled flights daily to Lamu from Nairobi and Mombasa. Modern communications allow email and telephone access to the outside world if you choose to be available.

All meals are relaxed and casual, served in the dining room, on the beach, or even on Utumaduni, our traditional sailing dhow.The availability of wonderful, fresh seafood and tropical fruit dictates most menus but Manda Bay offers wholesome, nutritious home-cooked menus from all over the world to suit any palate. The Italian trained Swahili chef can easily cater to the demands of children and those on special diets
