basic beach camp with soul
Guide Price: From: $295 To: $295
There are places that claim to be 'Robinson Crusoe' but aren't really...and then there are those that couldn't be more so if they tried. Munira is owned and run by Mike Kennedy, who is someone that you will want to visit anyway, even if he didn't own a camp.
Endlessly amusing and inclined to start throwing plates at the roof (a party trick where the plates disappear into the 'makuti' thatch and have to be retrieved in the morning by the understanding staff), Mike is a very laid back and friendly host.
The camp is constructed of simple 'bandas' dotted around the island. Each has an en-suite shower (which works only when you lower your bucket, fill it up and pull it up by it's rope) and a separate 'long drop' toilet. Food is based around the catch of the day and served by a team of very cheerful, friendly staff from the local area. The camp is basic so you need to come expecting little by way of auxiliary luxuries, but it is a beautiful spot and there are activities on offer for those that want to explore further.

Kenya is the most established safari country, and consequently you have to step a little off the conventional route to find real wilderness, but it’s certainly there. Kenya also has much going for it as a family destination, and also a good number of very individual safari camps and lodges with a personal approach that makes your experience very special. Kenya also has a particularly diverse ecology which ranges from snowy mountains to true desert, rolling grassy plains filled with wildlife to craggy scrub intersected with dry riverbeds, sparkling beaches and volcanic ranges.
