Homes in the Kenyan Bush - On the Water
Takaungu
Overlooking a white, sandy beach fringed with palm trees, Takaungu
is situated in front of Indian Ocean coral treasures. With a relaxed atmosphere,
one can beach-comb on the long beach, snorkel and scuba dive on the spectacular
coral reefs, bird-watch while sailing up the Kilifi Creek or simply relax on a
cool verandah and watch the Indian Ocean.
If you want to explore more afield, it's an easy drive to visit
the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest and Vuma Cliffs. Moonspinner, a 40-foot ketch owned
and operated by your hosts and moored in the nearby Swynford Boatyard, is ready
for you to sail.
Places of historical interest are dotted all along this ancient
coastline, waiting for you to discover them.
Your hosts Philip and Charlotte Mason, both Kenyan born and bred,
have lived at Takaungu for the last twenty years, enjoying its commanding view
of the Indian Ocean. For a relaxing break at the end of your safari, Takaungu
is the perfect spot.

Mundui Estate
Mundui's 1,200 acres is itself a conservation area, set within
the boundaries of Lake Naivasha's protected wetland and Kenya's award winning
Ramsar Site. Here you'll find a 1932 hunting lodge set on the edge of the Lake,
a small piece of Kenya's colonial history with large, airy rooms and stunning
views.

A paradise in the Rift Valley. Surrounded by hills to the west
and south and overlooking Lake Naivasha to the east, the landscape varies from
dry savanna to acacia woodland, encapsulating a range of different habitats.
With its many different wildlife species and over 280 species
of birds, Mundui is one of the last remaining pristine pieces of land in the Rift
Valley, offering a breathtaking retreat for the perceptive traveler.
For both tranquility and exposure to the marvelous biodiversity
of this piece of Africa, Mundui is a unique destination.

The Tana Delta Camp
Totally unspoilt, Tana Delta Camp gives a taste of wilderness
right on the Indian Ocean. The Tana Delta region is internationally recognized
as one of Kenya's most important wetland areas; the Camp owners are deeply involved
in the conservation of this unique, tidal ecosystem.

This unique camp is situated by the mouth of the mighty Tana
River, north of Malindi Town, on the curve of a 30-mile beach with the huge sand
dunes marking the edge of Unguana Bay. With the Tana River on one side of the
Camp, and the Indian Ocean on the other side, who could ask for anything more?
