Directions: From Mombasa/Diani
- Take the Mombasa (A109)/Lunga Lunga (A14) highway (see map).
- 2.1km after passing a big sugar factory on the right & crossing the Ramisi River bridge, there is a turning on the left at Kanana (approx 63.6km from Mombasa ferry & 37.7km from Ukunda at Diani turn-off).
- Drive on the Kanana/Shimoni road for 15km.
- At T junction, turn left & we are the 3rd gates on the right – bright blue – after passing Shimoni Reef Lodge.
From Tanzania:
- Approximately 30km from the Horohoro / Lunga Lunga border, you reach Kanana & a BIG rumble BUMP.
- Turn right & follow directions above to our home.
By Public Transport
- There is regular local transport to Shimoni (we are a short walk from drop off point) either by matatu (local bus) or motorbike.
- If traveling from Mombasa, cross the ferry from Island side to Likoni & look for a matatu going to either Lunga-Lunga or Shimoni.
- The drive to the Shimoni junction at Kanana will be approximately 1.5hrs (depending on where other drop offs & pick ups are along the way!).
- If you are on a Lunga-Lunga matatu, get off at Kanana & take a motorbike (for the young at heart) for the last 15km off the main road down to Shimoni.
- Local transport is OK but….
– A Taxi from either Diani or Mombasa is your best option, but more expensive.
– From Mombasa, the drive is approximately 1.5hrs once you have crossed the ferry & 1hr from Diani.
From Nairobi
- A good way to reach the coast from Nairobi is either by the new SGR railway (book online) or fly from Wilson airport to UkundaDiani airstrip.
- Flights can be very reasonable. There is also the budget airline (part of Kenya Airways) Jambojet from JKIA that flies to Diani/Ukunda.
- We can also arrange taxis & car hire for you (contact us).
