Muhaka Camp

Camp Muhaka is a permanent bush camp set in the heart of a small rural African community on the lower slopes of the Shimba Hills. Built in 2007, this beautiful camp sits in the middle of a forest, rich in palm and mango trees that provide cooling shade from the heat of the sun, where monkeys and bush babies inquisitively watch you from the canopy.

The camp’s central location in the village means that the primary school that we are working on is just across the road and it is only a short walk to the sacred Kaya Muhaka forest where one of our conservation projects is based. This gives you the chance to experience first hand the positive effect that your work has on the community.

LOCATION

50 km south of Mombasa, near the small town of Ukunda. Approximately 30 minutes from Diani Beach.

ACCOMMODATION

The camp also boasts a large thatched, open-sided dining area.
