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.

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.

Stayed in August 2024

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.

I loved the place, it’s so special, the staff are nice, they made good food, is very near to the beach and inside the nature.

Hmm nothing

The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating

Possibly could have had smoother check in experience, but no other complaints.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Very friendly staff, great location and good value for money. The A Rocha team are genuine conservationists that include guests in all their activities, and also invited me to social events in Watamu while I was there. They also gave me great advice for interesting swims and hikes to do that meant I didn't have to pay for guided tours. And, you are included in all their meals for no extra charge if you want. Highly recommend.

The camp blended into it's environment beautifully including the sunset tower. To have a fridge available was a welcome surprise. The staff were lovely.

Lack of Backup power to the Bamba Kofi tents.

Location is unbelievably awesome. Best bang for your buck.

Everything was perfect !

It’s a bit far from watamu itself. However, it has everything you need there and a tuktuk is always easy to get, so it wasn’t an issue for us!

Lovely place on the beach. Good food, some of the friendliest and most helpful staff we’ve seen in Kenya. Plenty of outdoor lounge areas, a beautiful pool and an outdoor self-serving kitchen. We stayed in the tent and with the breeze, shade and fan it was still one of the best and coolest nights of sleep we had. One of our favorite spots in Kenya!

Incredible staff who went out of their way to make trip unforgetable! Comfortable, near beach, peaceful.
