Calm oasis on a beautiful beach with an excellent restaurant and lovely facilities.

Gorgeous location - quiet, outdoorsy feel but with an excellent snack bar (which honestly is more of a restaurant). Beautiful places to sit, relax and star-gaze. Surrounding restaurants were good and easily accessible. Loved the pool. My tent was very comfortable and private. I didn’t snorkel off the beach but I think at low tide it must be pretty good - instead I took boat trips from Turtle Bay

A paradisical place if you love nature and the beach!

I had a fantastic stay in a tent at Bomba Kofi. It is such a beautiful place surrounded by trees and nature and right by Watamu's best beach. Lovely guests and restaurant. The perfect place for a relaxing beach break.

Fabulous, close to nature glamping experience! Highly recommend!

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 looked after thanks to Benjamin and the team! The food was absolutely delicious and great value for money, we had breakfast at the snack bar every morning and lunch/dinner on a couple of occasions also, it was consistently excellent. The staff were all lovely and friendly, super helpful for all of our questions and needs, the upkeep of our tent lodge was perfect too and the facilities were kept clean daily. The pool and community areas were fab as well and we had a good game of table tennis too :) The overall experience was fabulous and I highly recommend Bamba Kofi Lodge, we hope to come back soon!

Great getaway amidst Watamu's resorts

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 for you to cook as well. The place is really close to the beautiful Garoda beach.

Very nice and calm atmosphere as its a bit outside Watamu centre. Nice staff and a great location directly on the beach. Table tennis and other games available. Very decent restaurant with good prices. Endless activities in the area, such as kite surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, yoga, SUP etc Overall amazing holidays for a moderate price.

Beachfront budget tent option

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

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. Loved the pool, the food, and overall the stay was an amazing experience. Beach access was very easy - just wake up and walk to the beach and enjoy the ocean waves.

Perfect location and friendly staff

We really enjoyed our time at this place. It’s located next to the beach, so for everyone who enjoys the beach this place is amazing. Also, the prices are good for what you get. Lastly the staff was very friendly. Benjamin helped us very good with any inconveniences we had and Stanley and Justus are two very kind and good chefs! We definitely would recommend this place.
