ABOUT THE ITINERARY

Indulge in a week-long escape to Manda Bay in Kenya’s idyllic Lamu Archipelago, a secluded island hideaway where soft white sands merge into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. After spending one night in Nairobi, you will be transported to the small, privately-owned Manda Bay on the north-western tip of Manda Island. Enjoy six nights in a breezy palm-thatched cottage overlooking an empty beach and pristine reef, where days can be as active or as laidback as you like. Unwind by the landscaped pool or choose from an enticing menu of snorkelling, kite surfing and deep sea fishing.

MANDA ISLAND, LAMU ARCHIPELAGO

Now it’s time to see another side of Kenya. Returning to Wilson Airport, a light aircraft flight and 30-minute boat transfer brings you to Manda Bay, a secluded beach hideaway set on an idyllic island in the Lamu Archipelago.

The sea surrounding the lodge is safe, calm and warm, so you can fill your days with various water sports such as scuba diving and snorkelling on spectacular coral reefs, kayaking in crystal clear waters and deep sea fishing. The island’s birdwatching opportunities are fantastic, whilst early evening game drives in the bush behind the lodge offers encounters with buffalo, dik-dik and bushbuck.
