“Best value for money!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

We stayed at Kilimani Kwetu for almost a week with a big group. We had rented all bungalows available for a sensible price and it was no problem at all to fit more than two into each of the huge beds. We had excellent food, fresh fish every day, and something for our vegetarians as well. The beach is close (but swimming only possible at high tide).
Clemens, the owner, made sure that nothing left to be desired. He has a lot of contacts to people organising tours such as snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, ox cart and canoeing.
Definitely a place I would recommend. Just don't expect any luxury such as hot showers, fitness rooms or satellite TV.

“i would like to return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2011

We have been in Kilimani Kwetu for one week end of January, 2011. Really nice place with 4 bungalows, beach bar and dining place. The staff very helpful (especially the owner Clemens, he also can help you to arrange the bicycles for rent, taxi etc).

The rooms are cosy and clean.
The food is very delicious- fresh bread, fruits and omelet for breakfast (you must taste the mango honey, too); wonderful local soups and seafood for dinner- it is only a few meals prepared by local cook. Breakfast and dinner always at big table (you can feel like at home) - it's very good way to meet with other guests (your holidays neighbors).
The beach is quiet. My favorite place in the beach was hammock between two palms.

Everything else in Kilimani Kwetu you must enjoy yourself. I am sure you will not be disappointed!

“Lovely Spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2009

Kilimani Kwetu Bungalows is an international place, small, directly at the beach, runs also a beach café with nice possibilities, play bao, play the guitar, listen to relaxing sounds, just be on your own or meet friendly locals, breakfast in the restaurant, always comfortable and delicious. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with european toilets (built this summer) and huge beds, rooms 2 and 4. This winter, I´ll go there for the fourth time

“cosy and tidy, great hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2007

We spend 2 weeks in 2006 in Kilimani Kwetu Bungalows.
It was really nice and we had a relaxed time, delicious food and friendly staff!
The rooms are cosy and tidy.
In 2007 I came again and it was so good to enjoy the new hammock at the beach and to enjoy swahili food or whatever you like.
The staff will organize tours and help you with any request.
prices from 20-35€

Stayed February 2007
