The Pemba Channel Lodge is tucked away in the tiny fishing village of Shimoni on the southern Kenya coast, not far from the Tanzania border, 80 kms south of Mombasa.

Founded over 40 years ago, the rustic simplicity of The Pemba Channel Lodge combines African tradition with its Colonial Heritage and is comfortable and friendly. The feel of the place is low-key, informal and casual. Your hosts Sandra & Peter are Kenyan born and bred and at hand to ensure that you have everything you need to make your stay as perfect as possible.

Food at the Pemba Channel Lodge is one of the lodge’s passions! Using a combination of Swahili, Indian, Mediterranean and Eastern Cuisines, the cooks produce exotic and imaginative faire - fresh seafood is one of our specialties, light and succulent salads, delicious dressings for pasta and super sauces for balmy evening bar-b-q’s served with home baked breads, fruit and fresh salads from the garden.

The Pemba Channel Lodge is in a tranquil setting and its elevated position ensures privacy and excellent views across the Channel to Wasini Island with the Usambara Mountains of Tanzania as a back-drop. The grounds are quiet and peacefully secluded. Central to the garden is a large fresh water swimming pool on the edge of a small cliff, the steps of which are the perfect place for evening sundowners!
