Further Information
Kizingo is based on Lamu Island, the other side of the island from Lamu Town.
It is a wonderful and rustic property with six spacious, comfortable, ensuite
bandas secluded amid the dunes on an isolated beach. A lovely bar and dining
room are set on the hill by the beach. Mary Jo and Louis van Aardt, who own
and run Kisingo, really love this area and their super lodge is very well run.
Guests enjoy excellent service and great food.
The island of Lamu sits in the warm Indian Ocean off the coast of northern
Kenya. It exudes enormous charm and has a really lovely, unsophisticated feel.
In Lamu Town, you find elegant, Islamic townhouses and beautiful Arabic
courtyards surrounded by scruffy, narrow alleyways and crumbling walls with
peeling paint. The ubiquitous donkeys, who wander the streets at will, brush
past intricately carved wooden doors and stone stairways that seem to hint
at a former grandeur.
Why?
- Wonderful remote Robinson Crusoe environment
- Very friendly owner managers and excellent food
- Great fun
Why Not?
- May be too basic and remote for some
