From hectic lifestyles to demanding Safari routine, we at Manda offer a more relaxed approach to the day. So that you may fit in a little or as much as you like. Activities are organised each evening for the following day. Your hosts will advise you on the best opportunities to suit your needs.

Early morning fishing forays, scenic flight over the Archipelago, a ski down in the calm waters of the mangrove creeks, bird walks, or simply a walk along the beach enables guests to return to the lodge for a well-earned breakfast. Fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, home baked breads and a full English breakfast are on offer.

The rest of the morning can be spent relaxing in the Lamu swinging beds or by the pool with a book, At low tide and in calm weather, we offer snorkelling off the coral reefs opposite the lodge to see the myriad of small coral fish and marine life., and at high tide, the water sports come out and there is plenty of opportunity to try your hand at some waterskiing or windsurfing, sailing or rides the tubes and banana boating

Lunch at Manda is served around 1.00pm – a light Buffet lunch with a healthy variety of dishes to suit all palates. Afternoon tea is served in the Tearoom and guests are invited to go for a light walk or sundowner, before returning for hot showers and a candlelit dinner under the stars.

For those wanting a bit more activity, it is worth a visit to Lamu, an ancient Swahili town that emerged over 600 years ago during the trading days of the Omani Arabs to the EastAfricanCoast. This can be combined with a visit to Shela, for some retail therapy, a cooling drink and a spot of lunch.
