We recently stayed at Twiga Lodge during an ulitmate frisbee tournament and had a horrible experience. Checking into the lodge we were not expecting the greatest of aminities but were still shocked by the lack of basic necesities. Our room was one of the beach views but definitly not worth the upgrade as the electricity frequently went out during the... More

Imagine the view when you pitch your tent right on the beach next to a palm tree. It is kind of windy so be sure to bring a strong tent, or rent one from the lodge. Showers and toilets are basic but ok. For only 300 KSh per person per night you can't expect much more. Talk nicely to the... More

The camp site is basic - I stayed there 6... More

Twiga Lodge aka Tiwi Beach camping is a amazing camping spot! Having a car is a must - unless you fancy a 4km walk from the main road. It's Only a short drive from Mombasa (45min to an hour) and a 20min drive down a nice and rugged dirt road - it's very well signed posted, so you won't get... More

Considering the prices of the rooms and camping its a fantastic place, we have stayed there 3 times now and enjoy every minute of it. It would be better to take your own vehicle as we do n yes the quality of the service and food is not the best but again considering what you pay compared to else where... More

We stayed here for one night camping in the campsite It costs $3 so you cant go wrong!!! The camping ground is a little uneven but we pitched a good area. There is running water and plenty of trees to tie a washing line. Best of all you are right on the sea front. Its amazing the views are spectacular... More

Positives: -quiet and isolated Negatives -nearly no transport options if you do not have a car, you will be immediately emptying your pockets to irrationally high priced taxi drivers at the junction where the main road and the rough road meet. Twiga is too far from the main road for walking. -service is bad bad bad and again, bad. Staff... More

When you are on your own its a great place to be catch up with other people but big enough to have time for you . The beach is great you can always organise a late night fire on the beach just ask one of the staff. !

Tiwi beach is a little bit down the road from Diani outside Mombasa. If you want all inclusive resorts or a package deal, go to Diani. Tiwi is much quieter and there really isn't much to do besides lounge on the beach, read, relax and go for a swim or dive. For most people coming off a safari, this is... More

Having beachview from the room was marvellous, but unfortunately the staff was not friendly and there is really nothing to do outthere. It is scary being on the beach because of boys bothering you and it is even too expensive. We should advise you to go to Southern Palms beach hotel. That's much better, let's say: excellent! Regards and enjoy... More
