Kipungani is a Swahili word meaning “the place of fresh air” and that is exactly what this exotic island off the northern coast of Kenya has to offer. Located on the ancient Arabian island-paradise of Lamu, Kipungani is one of Africa’s most remote, relaxing, and richly romantic coastal hideaways. Overlooking the tranquil waters of the sheltered Kipungani Channel, on the remote southwestern tip of Lamu Island, Kipungani Explorer Lodge is a dream destination for those seeking a true away-from-it-all desert island holiday.

Getting to Kipungani Explorer Lodge

After a 90-minute flight from Nairobi or 45-minute flight from Mombasa, you will be met at Manda Island. A 30-minute boat ride takes you to this exclusive island and the lodge. Amidst a 25-acre coconut plantation stands 15 thatched villas made from mangrove poles and palm leaves.

Accommodation at the Kipungani Explorer Lodge

Kipungani Explorer Lodge accommodates guest in 14 spacious and secluded chalets sitting above the soft white sands of Kipungani Bay, The chalets are fitted with en-suite bathrooms having showers and flush loos as well as king-size bed (with mosquito netting) . Furniture is locally made from local materials such as mangrove wood and palm.

Additionally the chalets have a beach-facing veranda with cozy chairs from where you can sit and enjoy a sun-downer. The large interiors are a picture of rustic simplicity, where the chalets are constructed entirely from local materials, with mkeka matting floors and makuti thatch roofs woven by the residents of neighboring Kipungani Village.
