Reviews of Bamba Kofi Lodge

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.

The tent was quite small with a suitcase.

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

It was good

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. 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.

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.

logically the tent is very warm

Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, lots of lovely indigenous trees for shade, tent balanced comfort with consideration for nature. Short walk to a stunning beach!

Minor brief power cut in the night, but didn't have a particularly adverse impact on my enjoyment of the stay

I really enjoyed the location. The beach was amazing, and overall, the whole experience was great.

I stayed in tent 3, and the Wi-Fi wasn't working there. I think it was the same in tent 4 as well. It was a bit inconvenient at times, but honestly, I wasn’t there for the Wi-Fi. I came to explore, so I didn’t really mind.

It was in a beautiful lush environment full of trees, monkeys and of course right at the beach.

I liked everything about it.

The garden is beautiful and the staff very friendly. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler too.

This was my first time glamping and I am so glad I took a chance on Bamba Kofi! It was such a wonderful experience! The tented camp area is surrounded by trees and gives this feeling of being immersed in nature. The sound of the ocean at night was so calming! The property itself also has cottages in case one isn't feeling adventerous enough for a more outdoorsy experience. 😁 I loved that the beach was just a few minutes walk and that there were various view points where one could sit and just take in the breathtaking views of the ocean. There is also a pool available in case you want a break from swimming in the ocean! The staff was also very helpful and pleasant! Special mention goes to Benjamin, Alice and Stanley! This was definately a wonderful discovery and I look forward to my next visit!

The bathroom could do with some hooks and maybe a small shelf to place items when one is showering. The lighting in the tent could be better...perhaps an extra lamp.

Booked by mistake but looked inside and it wasn't so bad.

We loved staying in the tent hut, showering under the trees and cooking and eating outside. The setting is so beautiful, surrounded by nature, and the beach and the sea are incredible. Truly magical place to stay.

As vegetarians we did get a bit bored of the food options in the restaurant, but we could have cooked more or gone into town more - but it’s a moto ride away and we didn’t always feel like it. The food we did have was tasty and cooked with love - but it’s certainly not quick - order in advance if you get hungry fast :-)

Stayed here last year and loved it so came back! The place has added various new facilities such as the diving center (little pricier than average but would recommend) and massage place. Pool is great and there is a lot of space next to the sea (but still inside the compound) to lie in the sun or watch the stars. You can cook yourself, store groceries in the underground fridge or eat at the restaurant (food is ok, but we chose to eat somewhere else most of the time). Location is amazing right next to the beach, but a bit away from Watamu town so you can get lots of peace and quiet. Everywhere is still within 10 min drive on a motorbike or so.

The tents are getting old and our zipper was broken. Would recommend fixing or replacing them.

The food was amazing, staff attentive and kind , if a bit slow. The property is Beautiful, spotlessly clean, with monkeys, birds and lizards galore, right on the beach, but the dunes keep it sheltered and private.

Problems were that big groups took over the pool and loungers were reserved by towels for hours on end, which meant they were not often available to tent dwellers. The shared shower at the tent area was often only a drizzle, and had no light so only able to use in the day. Just felt that the tent dwellers were an afterthought.
