Kipungani Lodge - Lamu Hotels & Kenya Holidays

Kipungani is a Swahili word meaning "the place of fresh air" and that is exactly what this exotic island off the northern coast of Kenya has to offer. Kipungani is where you leave the world behind. This glorious hideaway is set in a bay on an unspoilt wild on the southern white beach, tip of the sleepy Swahili island of Lamu.
