Kipungani Explorer is situated at the end of a 12km crescent beach on the south-western tip of Lamu Island, just off the coast of Kenya.

The brightly covered cushions in the lounge and bar area contrast with the sun-bleached driftwood furniture, shells and beach paraphernalia that decorate the terrace together with inviting hanging moon beds.

There are no doors or windows at Kipungani, so air is free to circulate, but there is electricity and a ceiling fan to give you a cool breeze during the warm summer evenings.

Enjoy a swim in the inviting pool or go windsurfing and waterskiing on the beautiful turquoise sea in front of your cottage. Alternatively you can take a boat to the islands of Kinyika during the neap tides, where scuba diving is excellent, or enjoy a deep sea fishing excursion searching for marlin and barracuda.

Kipungani Explorer is also the ideal base from which to explore the island of Lamu; a dhow safari and an exploration of its museums and 14th century mosques is a fascinating experience.
