Kizingo Eco Lodge
In the remote southwest tip of Lamu island, near Kipungani village, you'll find Kizingo—meaning "corner" in Kiswahili. It's a 30-minute boat ride from Manda airport, and since there are no cars on the island, they get around by boat or local motorcycle taxis (boda-boda).
Sometimes, they take a leisurely 13 km stroll along the dune-lined beach, enjoying the peaceful vibes. Kizingo keeps it simple and elegant. Their buildings have traditional thatched roofs made from palm, coconut, and mangrove wood. Beds and wall coverings are crafted from woven palm and coconut leaves, and shutters and doors are hung from the Wakindu tree. They even make their own furniture on-site, and you'll find local art sprinkled throughout the place, including a special library designed to spark your imagination and soothe your soul. In the bar and restaurant, hand-carved wooden cypress beams tell the tale of daily life on the island—an ancient Lamu tradition.
