The tent was quite small with a suitcase.

Very nice and calm atmosphere as its a bit outside Watamu centre. Nice staff and a great location directly on the beach. Table tennis and other games available. Very decent restaurant with good prices. Endless activities in the area, such as kite surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, yoga, SUP etc Overall amazing holidays for a moderate price.

Perfect place with budget tents where you can stay. Beachfront, for us best beach in Watamu. You can go easily to the town to have dinner and lunch in local places for a reasonable price. The staff are really nice and friendly.

It was good

I liked being hidden away In the bush with cool breeze from the trees, the sounds of crickets at night and the call of the ocean

Great combo of luxury (restaurant, fitness, landscaping and decoration). I loved the the tent with the monkeys in the morning. Superb kitesurf spot in front of the accommodation.

The set up was giving camping vibes, the tent set up was pretty great - Cleaned everyday and quiet and pretty serene. We loved all the spaces that were laid out in the property to chill and relax, especially the ones with a view of the ocean. Loved the pool, the food, and overall the stay was an amazing experience. Beach access was very easy - just wake up and walk to the beach and enjoy the ocean waves.

logically the tent is very warm

We really enjoyed our time at this place. It’s located next to the beach, so for everyone who enjoys the beach this place is amazing. Also, the prices are good for what you get. Lastly the staff was very friendly. Benjamin helped us very good with any inconveniences we had and Stanley and Justus are two very kind and good chefs! We definitely would recommend this place.

Minor brief power cut in the night, but didn't have a particularly adverse impact on my enjoyment of the stay

Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, lots of lovely indigenous trees for shade, tent balanced comfort with consideration for nature. Short walk to a stunning beach!

I liked everything about it.

It was in a beautiful lush environment full of trees, monkeys and of course right at the beach.

The camp sites were charming, secluded sites in the dune forest. The common gardens lovely, with lots of shady places to hang out- and the views over the ocean magnificent. A lovely location. Friendly helpful areas that made one feel at home

The garden is beautiful and the staff very friendly. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler too.

The bathroom could do with some hooks and maybe a small shelf to place items when one is showering. The lighting in the tent could be better...perhaps an extra lamp.

This was my first time glamping and I am so glad I took a chance on Bamba Kofi! It was such a wonderful experience! The tented camp area is surrounded by trees and gives this feeling of being immersed in nature. The sound of the ocean at night was so calming! The property itself also has cottages in case one isn't feeling adventerous enough for a more outdoorsy experience. 😁 I loved that the beach was just a few minutes walk and that there were various view points where one could sit and just take in the breathtaking views of the ocean. There is also a pool available in case you want a break from swimming in the ocean! The staff was also very helpful and pleasant! Special mention goes to Benjamin, Alice and Stanley! This was definately a wonderful discovery and I look forward to my next visit!

As vegetarians we did get a bit bored of the food options in the restaurant, but we could have cooked more or gone into town more - but it’s a moto ride away and we didn’t always feel like it. The food we did have was tasty and cooked with love - but it’s certainly not quick - order in advance if you get hungry fast :-)

We loved staying in the tent hut, showering under the trees and cooking and eating outside. The setting is so beautiful, surrounded by nature, and the beach and the sea are incredible. Truly magical place to stay.

The tents are getting old and our zipper was broken. Would recommend fixing or replacing them.

Stayed here last year and loved it so came back! The place has added various new facilities such as the diving center (little pricier than average but would recommend) and massage place. Pool is great and there is a lot of space next to the sea (but still inside the compound) to lie in the sun or watch the stars. You can cook yourself, store groceries in the underground fridge or eat at the restaurant (food is ok, but we chose to eat somewhere else most of the time). Location is amazing right next to the beach, but a bit away from Watamu town so you can get lots of peace and quiet. Everywhere is still within 10 min drive on a motorbike or so.

Couldn’t keep the sand at bay, it clung to everything,

Unique. Close to the amazing Indian Ocean and white sandy beach.

Everything. The staff were so good. The place is calm and clean. Swimming pool is very clean. The fact that there is a kitchen and a fridge wow. Will come back again.

Sharing of the toilet and bathroom at the tented camp and no shelf provided to place my soap and towel while in the shower.

I prepared my own breakfast

If there is such a thing as paradise on earth, it is here ! We stayed in one of the tents. We could hear the roar of the ocean as we lay in bed. The staff are wonderful, friendly and efficient. The food is lovely. It is such a big resort that we felt no need to go outside the grounds. The facilities are first class, I loved the swimming pool , the beach is a minutes walk from there. The restaurant is so laid back, you are made to feel so very welcome. I can comfidently recommend this resort.

Stayed in October 2024

Have in mind that if you are sensitive to the cold, the water of the shared shower is cool.

Bamba kofi was over our expectations. Everything was good: the place, the food at the restaurant, the location close to the beach, the kindness of the care giver and all the staff.

Having to leave. And minor detail: After dark the pool gets chlorinated so it was not possible to swim in the evening.

Oh my god, I could hear the sea from my hut! The beach had pearl white sand and transparant water. Watamu beach cottages had beautiful viewpoints over the ocean and a clean swimming pool too. I really loved how my tent hut under the baobab tree was like my own little house, with all needed at hand. Sharing the little hut area with just 2-3 neighbours in similar tents or huts (with a kitchen for just us) felt like living in a tiny village - connected with nature: waking up with the view of monkeys climbing the trees right outside of my window. Just bliss. If ever back in Watamu, I’d refuse to stay anywhere else but here. The staff were just beautiful, so helpful. Benjamin, Ken, Mapenzi, Grace, Stanley and Justice. Thank you for making my time there a blast.
