Bungalow "Mawimbi" including breakfast

Bungalow Mawimbi — named after the “waves” you’ll hear kissing the shore at Kimulimuli — is a self-sustained, eco-powered retreat built with local materials for a reel Swahili experience. Here, the sea is your swimming pool. We’re also creating a solidarity café, soon serving local, organic dishes. Our small, free anti-racism & anti-sexism exhibition adds a touch of culture and fun. We also organise local adventure if needed. At Kimulimuli we blend culture, sustainability, and seaside serenity.
