Manda Bay
My Safari
The exclusive resort of Manda Bay is situated on the north west tip of unspoilt idyllic Manda Island in the Lamu archipelago. It is surrounded by miles of palm fringed soft white sand, lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. It is a perfect retreat for families, couples or honeymooners.
Relax and unwind in 12 comfortable cottages, 5 with double beds and 7 with twin beds, constructed with local materials and a palm thatch roof, and stylishly furnished. Each has a well appointed en-suite bathroom, and large private veranda with day bed overlooking the Indian Ocean.
There is a central dining area and separate bar/sitting area, set on the waterfront overlooking the bay, all furnished with locally crafted Lamu furniture.
Freshly caught tuna, mangrove crab and prawns are a speciality, and there are romantic candlelit dinners under the stars, either on the beach or on your cottage veranda.
Boat cruises offer a different perspective on the bush, allowing you to get much closer to much of the wild life.
We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.
Almost uniquely amongst safari destinations, Kenya has plenty of other activities on offer, including horse riding, golf and the like.
Serious game fishing in Kenya is restricted to off-shore, but inland there are still Tiger Fish, Catfish and Bream to be caught.
In addition to sporting activities such as horse riding, mountain biking and even marathon running Kenya also offers a wide range of water sports.
The perfect ending to an action-packed safari is a leisurely few days relaxing on an idyllic Indian Ocean beach.
There are many lodges and hotels in Africa that positively encourage families with young children to stay - find out more by clicking here.
A safari and beach combination offers the perfect solution for adventurous newlyweds looking for something a bit different.
