KIPUNGANI EXPLORER - LAMU

Perched on the edge of Kipungani Bay, where the protected mangroves of Kipungani Creek meet the end of a deserted 14-kilometre beach on the southwestern tip of Lamu Island, Kipungani is the ultimate dream destination for those seeking a true desert island holiday. As well as all the usual aspects of coastal relaxation - sun, sand, sea-sports and spectacular seafood - Kipungani offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a coastal culture unchanged for centuries. The property has an extremely close bond with the people of neighbouring Kipungani Village, who will show you their ancient boat-building and mat-weaving techniques, take you fishing or prawn-netting in the remote Dadori Nature Reserve, or show you their model education and health facilities - all built with the support of Kipungani and her guests.
