Bamba Kofi is a really cool place to visit, it felt like glamping in the jungle which was a really unique experience, we would watch the monkeys in the trees and listen to the birds/cicadas at night which was wonderful. We felt very safe and well...

We stayed at a tent with a bed and really enjoyed it. The place is a nice getaway in the middle of all the watamu resorts (which we were not expecting!). It was so peaceful sleeping there at night. They have a good restaurant and offer a kitchen...

Perfect place with budget tents where you can stay. Beachfront, for us best beach in Watamu. You can go easily to the town to have dinner and lunch in local places for a reasonable price. The staff are really nice and friendly.

I liked being hidden away In the bush with cool breeze from the trees, the sounds of crickets at night and the call of the ocean

Great combo of luxury (restaurant, fitness, landscaping and decoration). I loved the the tent with the monkeys in the morning. Superb kitesurf spot in front of the accommodation.

The set up was giving camping vibes, the tent set up was pretty great - Cleaned everyday and quiet and pretty serene. We loved all the spaces that were laid out in the property to chill and relax, especially the ones with a view of the ocean....
