Kizingo Eco Lodge

Overview & Location

Nestled on the remote southwest tip of Lamu Island, near Kipungani village, Kizingo Eco Lodge overlooks a pristine 12‑km stretch of deserted white sands between Kizingo and Shela. Accessible only by boat or motorcycle (no cars)—approximately 30 minutes by boat from Manda Airport—it's a secluded retreat rooted in Swahili culture and eco-conscious design.
