Before you arrive
We are about 90 minutes by road north of Mombasa airport (MBA). The cleanest options are a private transfer (we can arrange) or the SGR train to Mombasa then a taxi up. We are 15 minutes south of Kilifi town.
Kilifi is good year-round. Driest and sunniest is December to March; July–September is mild and breezy with the kuzi winds; the long rains run April–early June and the short rains in November. Even in the rainy months the days are mostly bright with afternoon showers.
Yes — we can host groups of up to about 60 across the whole lodge. We have hosted reunions, retreats, weddings, volunteer cohorts and corporate offsites. Email for a tailored quote with food, activities and transfers.
Wood-fired pizza, fresh seafood, Swahili-coast favourites, and a lot of vegetables grown in our own garden. Breakfast is included with all rooms; lunch and dinner are à la carte. Vegetarians and vegans eat very well here.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out by 11:00. Earlier check-ins and later check-outs are usually possible — drop us a note ahead of time.
