Day 3: Lamu Island

Peponi is a small hotel on the exotic island of Lamu, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya. Peponi is still run by the Korschen family, who opened the hotel in 1967 and which still retains much of the character and charm that it had then. Small and personal, it is the perfect rest after a safari or a hideaway holiday from modern life.

 

"Peponi is simple, fresh, cheerful and everything about it is totally original and genuine - no frozen foods here, nor frozen smiles." Relax at the Hotel or explore the several optional activities such as:

 

Dhow Trips: the archipelago under sail in a traditional Lamu or Mozambique style dhow. Visit the ruins at Takwa, raise a glass at sunset or dine under a full moon. Experience the spectacle or even help crew the biannual dhow race, held in August and on New Year’s Day.

 

Fishing Trips: Peponi’s deep sea fishing boat ‘Little Toot’ with its experienced crew and modern equipment offers some of the best sports fishing in East Africa. Ocean fishing with a hotel speedboat or hand line fishing from a local dhow is also available.

 

Snorkeling: Lamu archipelago offers some of Kenya’s best Snorkeling waters, with favorable conditions between October and April. The reefs at Manda Toto and Kiniyka have an abundance of reef fish and live coral. After Snorkeling guests can enjoy a picnic breakfast or lunch on the beach.
