Munira Island Camp
is on Kiwayu Island which is situated in the
Indian Ocean on the Kenya
coast North of Mombasa and the Island of
Lamu. It is the most lovely
Island by far in the Lamu
Archipelago. The
camp was started by Mike and
Caroline Kennedy nine years ago. They have created a beautiful place
which completely blends into the natural environment. The camp is
totally eco-friendly running on solar and wind
power. The Island itself
is 12 miles long by half a mile wide. There are lots of caves and coves
to explore. There are also two villages on the Island, Kiwayu - an hours
walk south and Chandani - 20 minutes walk north. The water is brought in
by a team of donkeys from a well half a mile away. There is an extensive
mangrove creek system, ideal for bird watching and light tackle fishing.
Added to this is a 6 mile virgin beach (no beach boys !!) and spectacular snorkeling over a
myriad of unspoilt coral reefs .
