It was really a very special and unique experience to stay at Blue Monkey. Everything is simple but well thought through, so I wasn't missing anything. The solar panel allowed to keep the phone charged even though the place is not grid connected, showering with the bucket is no problem. Ismail is the most friendly and helpful host you could imagine. He showed me the village, helped organize a snorkel tour and had a lot to tell about the history of the place and the village. Wasini island is stunning with coral reefs, mangrove forests, dolphins swimming nearby. Overall, highly recommended!

Located in Shimoni, 39 km from Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest, Mwazaro Beach Lodge provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area.

An outstandingly beautiful, quiet and friendly place with great location directly at a marvelous lagoon. The resort has been lovingly renovated end of 2022, and all accomodation is of high quality and new. All was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. There is a bar and a restaurant with excellent food. At low tide you can enjoy a walk of several kilometers along the coast through the mangroves, or you can go on a boat trip along a mangrove-cladded river with many birds (including a colony of kingfisher) looking for crocodiles.

With Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest reachable in 44 km, Firefly Eco Retreat offers accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace.

The lodge is situated in an absolutely stunning location, offering a serene and tranquil environment that is perfect for peace, introspection, and reconnecting with nature. The setting is truly breathtaking, with a sense of quiet that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the surroundings. The staff’s warmth, care, and attention to detail are truly commendable. A special mention goes to JACOB and DINAH, whose exceptional hospitality and professionalism made our stay unforgettable. Their dedication to ensuring every aspect of our experience was seamless is deeply appreciated. We were particularly impressed by the lodge’s commendable efforts in coral reef restoration, addressing the impact of bleaching, and its commitment to education and advocacy for marine conservation. This initiative adds a meaningful layer to the already wonderful experience, allowing guests to witness and support the positive impact of sustainable practices. We will certainly return and highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a purpose. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable!

Nestled among coral reefs and tropical gardens, Shimoni offers charming accommodation in cottage suites with thatched roofs.

Amazing place! We even got a room upgrade: we booked the cottage and we were offered to go to Hemingways suite which was absolutely fantastic, with a private pool on the rooftop. The pools, both the private and the shared ones, were clean and nice. The staff is very kind and always available: they can recommend good and convenient options for visiting the marine national park. The lodge is on a beach with mangroves: don't expect to chill on the white sand of Diani, it's completely a different environment, with mangrove ecosystems and lot of conservation efforts. The food was also good. We ate abundantly at dinner and breakfast, and the staff was available to satisfy our requests and exigencies. The restaurant on the terrace, with sofa, and lot of books, makes it a perfect place to chill and relax. You can reach the KWS office (to take the boat for the marine park with a 15-minutes walk through Shimoni Village, which is small but super characteristic. We highly suggest to visit it for a very local experience. The Shimoni Slaves Caves are less than 10 minutes walking. Strongly recommended and thanks a lot for such nice hospitality.

Situated in Msambweni, a few steps from Msambweni Beach, YU Resort features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area.

I had a truly amazing experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a great variety of options. One of the highlights of my trip was the special excursion to Shale Island – it was breathtaking and perfectly organized by the hotel. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and exceptional service.

The hotel is simple but nice for relaxing after an ocean safari. The room was clean (no insects). There is an outdoor terrace. The staff was nice and warm. The water pressure in the shower was low, but that’s normal for Africa. In addition, there is no water on the island, they use rainwater and bring water from the mainland for drinking. The food was delicious – fish, crab, prawns, etc. The hotel is not on the ocean, the hotel is on the second line. We went to the hotel because we wanted an ocean safari. The hotel manager Ally organized a very nice full day ocean safari – coconut crab island, dolphin tour, coral gardens and also a small island tour. Ally also organized a transfer – by tuk-tuk from the highway to Shimoni port and then by boat from Shimoni to Wasini Island. I recommend it if you want an ocean vacation.

Offering pool views, Msambweni Beach House and Private Villas in Msambweni features accommodation, an infinity pool, an open-air bath, free bikes, a garden and a bar.
