($/person/night) | | Kiwayu Safari Village | The theme of Kiwayu Safari Village is informality. Your banda is a spacious suite consisting of a bedroom, dressing room, safari-style shower with running water and lavatory. Each hammock-strung verandah offers total privacy and panoramic views over the lagoon. The dining room and bar are also built in the local Bajuni tradition with palm-thatched roofs and woven matting floors. For all its privacy, each of the 18 bandas is within easy distance of the water's edge, the boats and the bar. Game viewing is plentiful! Kudu rustling in the doum palms, maybe a herd of buffalo around the waterhole below you, lion pug marks in the rippled sand..You can fish for rock cod, barracuda and snapper in the wide channels that thread through the magnificent mangrove forests. Pick your own rock oysters or water-ski in the sheltered lagoon. The bay is perfect for sailing with windsurfer, Laser, or Hoby Cat. | | | Peponis | Peering through one teakwood door at Peponi Hotel, one faces the Swahili world. Opening the other, one hears the tide bursting on a coral reef and feels the first flush of trade winds. The Peponi commands a headland between the world of traditional peoples and a lonely sea. To the southwest, lies an eight mile stretch of soft sand that the locals call crowded if ten people, in all its length, are visible. The hotel overlooks Manda Island and from the verandah one is able to step on to the beach which stretches for eight miles and with no other sign of habitation. All rooms have their own sea facing patios, an all are equipped with all modern conveniences. One is able to waterski, sail, or snorkle within an earshot of the hotel. Diving can also be arranged through the hotel. | | |
