Kiwayu, north of Lamu, is an isolated archipelago of islands, and home to Kiwayu Safari Village.
Kiwayu is located 120 kms from Lamu. “Kiwayu is a taste of honey, a place to disappear in and restore your soul. Miles of deserted beaches with soft white sand, the sensual sound of waves lapping the shore of this beautiful bay slowly soften your senses and lead you back to nature’s old rhythms”… Kiwayu is part of the Northern Lamu Archipelago.

Across the lines of the Kiwayu dunes, the Dodori Game and Boni National Reserves are located, as well as the Kiunga Marine Reserve. The days are hot and the nights pleasant. Kiwayu has for centuries been the focal point for Arab dhows trading in ivory, carpets and carved chests, between Arabia and Mombasa and onto Zanzibar. There are few places in the world that can boast the seclusion of Kiwayu which is visited only by guests to the Safari Village, local fishermen, the dhows that come to collect water and the occasional sport fisherman.

The Kiwayu Safari Village
Overlooks a sheltered lagoon to the north of Kiwayu Island and offers 18 spacious and airy cottages with private shaded hammock-strung verandahs. Activities offered include: game drives in the Dodori Reserve, beach and dune walks, beach barbeques and sundowners, water sports, turtle hatching, deep-sea diving and fishing… The theme of the Village is informality and a bikini and beach wrap is all the packing you need bring to Kiwayu.
