The perfect end to a safari in Kenya or Tanzania which we can easily arrange for you.                
Kizingo is a 'no news, no shoes’ beach resort. The lodge is situated at one end of a spectacular 12-kilometre beach that stretches from Kizingo (which means 'the point’ in Swahili), to the fashionable village of Shela. Kizingo has just eight beautifully appointed banda's (thatched cottages), set well apart from each other. In the early morning you can enjoy tea in bed and watch fishing dhows tack south to Malindi. Guests can be as private or as social as they wish, opting to enjoy fine dining on the balcony of their banda or join other guests in the bar and the dining room with their magnificent views across the bay to mainland Kenya where giant baobab trees spread into the brilliant blue sky. The swimming is excellent, both in the Indian Ocean and in the calm waters of the channel that separates Lamu from the mainland. Whilst you can spend the whole of your stay just relaxing and doing nothing but reading and sunbathing (it has been known!), you can arrange a big choice of activities, including excellent snorkeling and the chance to swim with dolphins in the winter months and cycle rides to friendly African villages on the mainland or guided tours of historic Lamu Town.

Kizingo is both eco-friendly and very comfortable and has a symbiotic relationship with the local village, an hour away on foot, and with farmers on the mainland who grow food and make furniture for the lodge. Strongly committed to conservation and ecologically sound practices, the lodge was built with the knowledge and expertise of villagers to construct the banda's using locally produced materials such as mangrove poles, star palm leaves and coconut palms, helping the lodge blend into the landscape. Hot water and most of the electricity is provided by solar panels. Shower water and kitchen gray water is recycled to grow the plants and trees.

Green turtles come up to the beach to lay their eggs from October to June. The incubation period is up to 90 days. When the eggs hatch, staff alert us so that interested guests may watch over the baby turtles as they find their way to the ocean, protecting them from crabs and birds. Location: There are flights available from Lewa (some are via Nairobi) to Lamu. Kizingo is situated two degrees south of the Equator just off the coast of Kenya. It is reached by a half-hour boat ride from the airport on Manda Island.

Weather: The south east monsoon, the 'Kusi', blows from May to October. The weather is usually cooler with strong winds, great for sailing and body surfing. Average temperatures between 28°C to 32°C. The north east monsoon the 'Kaskasi' comes between November to April. The weather is usually hot with clear water suitable for snorkeling. Average temperatures from between 30°C to 35°C.
