The Kipepeo Lodge

Having had ten days in Kenya on safari in an old Landrover before getting to Kipepeo  we were desperately in need of rest and relaxation. Kipepeo was fabulous, everything we were expecting and more. Having hired the whole villa for ten days with family and friends we had absolute privacy and quiet. We had a wonderful and idyllic time, beautifully looked after by Mohammed and his team who treated us so well and looked after everything and anything we needed.  
The villa is in a great location right on the stunning white sandy beach, and Jambiani is quiet  and un-touristy which is such a treat these days.  The rooms &amp; beds  were very comfortable, while the swimming pool is a real bonus. We would highly recommend it to everyone - and would dearly love to go back every year if we could! I am already thinking about how to get back.. I really did not want to leave. Many thanks for a wonderful time, and best wishes to the very special Mr Mohammed who made it extra fabulous.
Best regards- we miss you!

Hi Vincenzo and Staff,

All 9 of us within our party would like to say a huge big thank you for our recent stay during the Christmas and New Year holiday. Kipepeo is in what can only be described as a lost paradise lost from the world of mass tourism and engulfed in local culture. Jambiani is an amazinzing village and we were made to feel most welcome by everyone we came across from the village.

The lodge is in a perfect location and all we can say is what a beach!! it made a huge change not to be bothered every 5 minutes by beach boys and the fact that we could walk for what seemed miles without seeing anyone was amazing. I really enjoyed seeing the local people just getting on with thier lifes collecting seaweed from the beach whilst having breakfast on the porch every morning it was such a cool way to wake up.

I would also like to say a huge big thank you for arranging the wedding for Peter and Anita, your staff made this day very special and the whole village turned out to see the wedding as they had never been to a western wedding.The whole day was amazing along with the night time celebrations, once again BIG BIG THANK YOU.

I can't wait to return and I'm already missing my stay. I could go on but in short Kipepeo is in a perfect location with a perfect beach that is away from mass tourism and is ideal for a complete rest and relaxation. Don't come here if you want to party and go to night clubs because this is for the more discerning traveller who will appreciate the location for what it is. The lodge is as described and with every week that goes by I'm sure it will only get better and better.

We found the permanent staff (3-4 persons, I believe) very friendly and helpful. 
However there were so many other persons coming and going, without notice, in the house, that it was disturbing and confusing for us as guests.
I would strongly recommend a change in this behaviour.

4 buoni motivi per scegliere il kipepeo: il posto è un sogno, a pochissimi metri dall&#039;oceano, ti svegli e di addormenti con la musica che creano le onde c&#039;è kim il gestore e il gruppo dei suoi amici che non ti faranno mancare niente, sia nella gentilezza, nella cura nel preparare le cose &#040;dal cibo, alle camere, all&#039;atmosfera...&#041; si mangia da dio: piatti tipici, tutto a base di pesce se cerchi un&#039;ambiente intimo e famigliare, se vuoi conoscere jambiani, la gente i bambini, e non ami grandi strutture turistiche, vi assicuriamo che il kipepeo fa per voi. l&#039;unica cosa è che non verresti mai via!! quindi preparatevi a un piantino!!

L&#039; ospitalità è superiore alla incatevole bellezza dell&#039;Africa Quando si pensa alle vacanze in Africa si danno per scontate la bellezza del paesaggio e l&#039;emozione che si prova alla vista di animali nel loro ambiente naturale. Nascono dubbi quando si pensa all&#039;organizazzione della vacanza, da una parte si teme di affrontare una vacanza troppo selvaggia e dall&#039; altra si vuole evitare di trovarsi invischiati nella organizazzione eccessiva dove ti sembra di trovarti allo zoo cittadino. A Kipepeo abbiamo trovato un bellissima situazione dove abbiamo avuto sia la possibilità di vivere a contatto con la realtà locale sia la possibilità di organizzare le nostre escursioni decidendo di volta in volta in base ai nostri desideri . Ma più importante di tutto è stato il clima familiare trovato e la squisita disponibilità delle persone locali.

Cercate disperatamente un posto paradisiaco tutto per voi? Magari in una villa sulla spiaggia a soli 5 metri dal mare..completamente rifinita secondo l&#039;architettura locale con un immenso tetto in paglia, 10 posti letto, un intero staff locale lì per sioddisfare ogni vostro desiderio? Letti a baldacchino..colonne dipinte a mano..e una vista mozzafiato? Non é un sogno, basta prenotare al Kipepeo lodge! Adatto per organizzare splendide feste o vacanze tra amici, ma si sposa bene anche con le esigenze delle famiglie con bambini e sfiora la perfezione per una coppia che voglia vivere a contatto con la natura. Non c&#039;é da aspettare...dovete solo prenotare ed il Paradiso si aprirà ai vostri occhi..

The Kipepeo Lodge is a unique place where local and nature wonders mix in an outcome of scents, particular colors and feelings. The villa is a real earth paradise, in which it is really possible to gently approach the local culture and secrets of Jambiani, this african &#040;suspended in time&#041; village. The lodge staff is gentle and kind, the sea waves will lead your sleep at night and at dawn. Moreover, the structure offers comfort, deep relax and joy. What to ask more? If some desires a different place to understand Zanzibar, this is the place.

This was my second time in Kipepeo Jambiani. But 7:th time in the village Jambiani. I have with me different size of groups. Now we rent whole the house. Kipepeo is quite near the see and near the nice village. You can look the sunrise every morning and you can listen when the high tide is coming. The rooms in Kipepeo are clean and cosy. It is unforgottable to sit on the terrace, have a nice breakfast, listen the music of the sea, nobody disturbs you! The staff &#040;they all are jambianians &#041; in Kipepeo is so fine, polite and smiling and they take so good care of you, that you feel like another home! Or like in paradise! In Kipepeo I can feel all the best things of Africa, I ever dreamed!! And you have nice privacy there! The members of my group say the same! In november next year I´ll return to Jambiani and Kipepeo!
