Kipungani Explorer is a rustic, natural beach hideaway, under swaying coconut palms, perched over a sandy bay on Lamu Island at the opposite end of the Island to Lamu Town. Enormous bright cushions are scattered around, sun bleached driftwood furniture, shells and beach paraphernalia decorate the decked terrace together with hanging 'moon beds'.

15 beach cottages made from palm leaf mats with thatched roofs and wide open spaces for windows and doors are well spaced along the beach. Each bedroom has a king size bed with mosquito netting, ceiling fan to keep you cool at night, bathroom with basins, flush toilet and fresh water shower (the water is unheated) and private verandah, facing the ocean. Dining is excellent with the emphasis on fresh seafood. Breakfast may be served on your verandah to order at the hour you choose.
