Kiloran Funzi house at the end of a mangrove channel behind Funzi keys, is a exclusive secluded beach house with fantastic facilities for doing ABSOLUTELY nothing - eat, drink and sleep.
Navigating the channel through the mangroves, especially after dusk, is a thrilling and spine-tingling experience.
With virtually no other house in sight, you can sit at beach Tide bar sipping a drink, with water at high tide lapping at your feet, and gaze at the baobab tree over mangrove and casuarina skyline, and commune with nature and any god of your persuasion .
If you get bored, there is the sand bank a kilometer off shore, where you can enjoy a breakfast at sunrise, imbibe champagne or sip cold beer under a shade at midday; or have a barbeque under moonlight. You can also explore the mangroves watching birds or go up Ramisi river and see crocodiles. Kisite Mupungani marine park, 2 hours boat ride away, offers diving and snorkeling and a swim with dolphins. A day safari can be arranged to Shimba hills National park (3 hours away) where one can see elephants, buffalo, giraffes and antelopes.
I am a retired human & animal health consultant. Over the years I have travelled widely and I have visited each and every continent. I have stayed in accommodations ranging from sleeping on a bunker in a ship at sea and on a hard bench in a railway station waiting room, to sharing a double decker bed in a youth hostel and staying in a 5 star hotel suite. I have enjoyed the thrills and endured the frustrations of travelling. I therefore do empathize with my fellow travellers’ experiences. I will do my very best to make your stay at Kiloranhouse, a wonderfully memorable experience.
