Whether seeking adventure in the wild, peaceful moments by the ocean, or a connection with local traditions, Kisiwa Stays offers a perfect balance of comfort, authenticity, and memorable experiences that linger long after your journey ends.
At Kisiwa Stays, our values shape every journey, from authentic local insight to personally vetted stays, seamless planning, and experiences that leave lasting memories.
Kisiwa Stays began as a humble yet heartfelt collection of private holiday homes in Kenya, lovingly shared among friends and family who sought special places to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of the country. What was once a simple passion project, driven by a desire to share meaningful getaways, soon began to attract more visitors who were drawn by the charm, comfort, and authenticity of these unique retreats. As word spread, our vision grew, and Kisiwa Stays transformed from a small personal endeavor into a trusted travel brand known for its warmth, integrity, and attention to detail.
Our journey has been shaped by dedication, perseverance, and a deep love for creating authentic experiences that reflect the heart of Kenya. Over the years, we have grown into a close-knit team of hosts, storytellers, and experience-makers. We are committed to curating stays that go far beyond the ordinary. Every journey we design is crafted to give guests more than just a holiday. We offer moments of discovery, connection, and belonging that stay with them long after they leave.
We only recommend places we know and love, with each destination personally explored, experienced, and chosen for its beauty, authenticity, and sense of place. Our knowledge goes far beyond the walls of each retreat. We understand the landscapes, cultures, and hidden corners that make East Africa so remarkable, allowing us to guide you to experiences that capture the true spirit of the region. Whether it is waking up to the sounds of the savannah, feeling the sand between your toes on a secluded beach, or wandering through vibrant local markets, we connect you to moments that stay with you long after you leave.
With Kisiwa Stays, finding the perfect place to stay is just the beginning. We take the time to understand your interests and passions so we can curate an itinerary that blends comfort with adventure, leisure with discovery. From private game drives led by expert guides to sunset dhow cruises, from tasting traditional Swahili cuisine to learning about Maasai traditions firsthand, we ensure your journey is rich with unforgettable memories. Our tailored recommendations, supported by genuine insight and real imagery, make planning your East African escape effortless, inspiring, and deeply personal.

The safari camp they recommended was magical, comfortable, eco-friendly, and right in the heart of the wildlife action. Every day felt like a dream.
