We stayed at the Bamburi Beach Hotel
Great location on the top of a cliff with views across the ocean
There are steps down to the beach from the cliff top.
Hassled on the beach to buy woodcarvings and sarongs
Do not buy trips from the locals; go with a proper tour operator
It may be a little more expensive but it’s worth it as your life could be at stake.
If you ask one of the gardeners for a coconut he will shine up a tree and get one for you cut it open and put a flower in it and a straw, do give them a tip for this wages are very low.
Mini Safaris available so go for at least two weeks.
Bamburi nature reserve is a short taxi ride away. Worth a visit has hippos, large tortoise, snakes, crocodiles and many other creatures.
I went with my friend Tony he was a walking disaster, got eaten alive by mosquitoes, got sunstroke (good job I bought those hyperdermics for the blood tests) was dehydrated, got food poisoning, nearly fell of a cliff and wandered off in the bush for a pee!WHEN ON SAFARI.
Was glad to get him home in one piece lol.

 You'll tell that hut story forever. The pool hotel looked like my kind of place.

 Great page, linky! The monkeys sound same than in Bako N.P. in Borneo, Malaysia. I hate those macaques!! :)
