Mpunguti Lodge

Wasini Island


The 10 rooms here, which overlook the delicious turquoise ocean, are uncomplicated, with mosquito nets, flush toilets and small verandahs. Running water is collected in barrels. The food is excellent (ask for the seagrass starter) and it’s a common lunch stop for boat trips. It’s on the edge of Wasini village.
