Nestled in an eight acre wildlife sanctuary you can expect to spot our local animal species. We offer a variety of accommodation from tree-houses to cottages, and basic camping tents.

Quite and Amazing Service

Reviewed By J6813ROrachaelm

Cheryl and all other staff were welcoming. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful. It was a low season so few guests. I enjoyed my two day stay wish I could extend. Only issue there's no hot water shower, WiFi not strong enough in the room and the menu can be improved.

Footprints House Diani Beach

Located along the pristine beaches of Diani and in short walking distance to all shops, restaurants and sights, we offer both private double rooms and dorm room options at very reasonable rates. Choose between the 3 minute forest path to the beach or rather relax by the pool right outside the house! The house has a big and modern kitchen for self-catering or with the option of a private cook. Plenty of relaxing chill out areas. Free WiFi is offered in public areas. Hosts live on site and can assist you at any time with organizing activities, trips and transport. The perfect place whether you prefer to keep to yourself or if you rather want to socialize and meet new people!

Best experience in Diani

Diani Backpackers

Book at dianibackpackers.com/booking to qualify for free accommodation. More stylish and security conscious than the average backpackers, Diani Backpackers has dorms and privates in a lovely house. Come to party at the 24-hour bar and pool, chill out in the lush garden, or catch up on sleep in the baobab dorm, where beds wrap around the trunk of a tree. There's a volleyball court, great daily menu and lockers. Turn right after KFI supermarket. Must be at least 18 years old

Soul Breeze Beach Resort

Good vibe and value

Reviewed By 316andreae

At Galu beach, some km south of Diani Beach, one of the busier places, yet relaxing. We took the luxury of an aircon, cuz even the nights can be quite hot. The hotel and bar staff is very friendly. Lots of shady tables at the beachfront restaurant. The pizze are nice. Calamari rings are few with tons of fries. The drinks are good. Breakfast what you can expect at that price. For Calamari go to Coconut Village, if they have. If you like it a bit more fine dining, Le Café right next door has excellent choices and good portions only slightly more expensive.

Voi Lutheran Guesthouse

Peaceful setting, clean rooms, amazing staff

Reviewed By rileyjon36

I have been staying at the Voi Lutheran Guesthouse for nearly 4 years and I would not think of staying anywhere else in Voi! In the fall of 2019, my group of 16 foreign students stayed in the shared rooms at the guesthouse and they absolutely loved their experience. We were able to reserve them rooms at an affordable rate and the staff at the hostel was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were very clean and separated by gender. Myself and my colleagues were provided ideal single ensuite rooms. Safety was never an issue and all the group's property was secure. The guesthouse is about a kilometer outside of the city of Voi, surrounded by large mountains and the legendary Tsavo national parks. Our students were writing their final proposals while staying here, and the guesthouse has the perfect conditions for brainstorming. The kitchen has good food and the chefs can cater to whatever dietary restriction that you might have. I would highly recommend staying here whether you are traveling in a group or just a solo traveler. Voi is much more than a stop-over city and has plenty of fun and exciting things to offer. You just have to be brave and ask around...

Hope Guest Hotel

Good Option specially if you are headed to Masai Mara

Reviewed By AwanOmer

This B&B is a good option if you are planning to stay overnight before continuing onward to Masai Mara as it is close to exit of the city. It is located very close to the Giraffe center if you are interested in visiting. They are linked to a program empowering local Kenyan women which is a noble cause and worth supporting. The staff was very helpful and if you notify in advance they can prepare wonderful meal for you as well.

Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers

Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers is nestled between the peaceful Giriama village of Fumbini and the emerald waters of Kilifi Lagoon. At Distant Relatives, our philosophy has always been to make sure everyone feels welcome - we’re all “distant relatives”! At a time of climate emergency and growing social divide across the world, Distant Relatives aims to bring a message of optimism and inspiration to visitors from all walks of life. Built as an experimental model of environmentally and socially conscious living, Distant Relatives welcomes a diverse group of locals and travelers who share a common love of the world which surrounds them and a desire to live in harmony with our environment. Adventurers from around the world gather here to share stories, mingle with the local community, and enjoy some of Kenya's most breathtaking oceanscapes. Just 60km drive away from the bustling streets of Mombasa and the tourist center of Malindi, Kilifi offers a refreshing taste of pristine untouched coastline. Start your mornings with the smell of freshly brewed Kenyan coffee, sunrise yoga and a dip in the pool. Fill your days sunbathing on Bofa beach, reef snorkeling in crystal clear waters, exploring nearby ruins or playing Beach Volleyball at sunset. Dream without falling asleep--at night enjoy a moonlit dhow sail, beach bonfires, live music and a starry bioluminescent sea. As a travelers haven, Distant Relatives offers a pocket-friendly alternative to other coastal accommodations. Choose from camping under the stars, airy dormitories, safari tents, private rooms and spacious en suite Bandas with their own private gardens and courtyards. Our philosophy has always been to work around nature, rather than making nature work around us. All of our accommodations intertwine with the surrounding environment, connect us with the natural world and minimize our footprint wherever possible. KARIBU SANA!

A beautiful oasis in Kilifi.

What a clean, neat and quiet hotel in Bondo. I would recommend this hotel for those looking for affordable, clean and comfortable accommodation. The staff are also friendly and very helpful. The hotel is in a very accessible location, but away from the hustle and bustle of the town. However, during my stay, the WiFi was not very reliable.

Quick 1 Night Overview

Reviewed By Salma E

Price: 3000 ksh for a private room Value: The place is not clean, shared bathroom, the fan is not working, smelly sheets and toilets are clean yet they have spider webs and insects Advice: Make sure if you have to spend the night there to bring your mosquito spray and any insects spray. If you are planning to catch the 8:00 AM train to Nairobi, leave around 4:15 AM from BackPackers Inn. Walk to the main road and catch a Matatu to Posta. Then board a tuk tuk, ask the tuk tuk to drop you at the matatues that go to the terminus. *Termius = Railway station". The shuttle bus will take you from there to the railway station Fare for transportation: 50 ksh first matatue, 60 ksh for tuk tuk, 100 ksh for the last matatue
