Further Information
Manda Bay is a private island within the Lamu Archipelago and not far from
the island of Lamu. It has ten lovely, private bandas
set right on the beach, a few yards from the lapping waves of high tide.
Built from local materials and adorned with a tasteful mix of local furnishings,
your room also has an ensuite bathroom. The cuisine is laden with bounteous,
fresh seafood. Your hosts are Caragh and Andy Roberts, who own the lodge.
Here, you can spend the days relaxing on the private beach, which is exclusive
for guests of the Roberts. You may like to go for a day trip into the surreal
bustle of Lamu town, caught in a Swahili time warp where donkeys are the only
vehicles allowed through its narrow streets.
