We stayed at Ibo Island lodge for 3 nights in July 2009 and had a truly memorable experience. The island itself is fascinating and the lodge has made a fantastic job of sensitively restoring the historic buildings it has rescued. We loved our room with a big four poster, rich eastern furnishings and a huge and beautifully designed bathroom. And... more

I'd have to say this was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed at. It makes me happy just thinking about it. Go as soon as you can before Ibo becomes like Lamu or Zanzibar. more

We were here for 5 days on our honeymoon. The island is really something special and worth seeing before it changes too much. Go to a local disco if you can! The lodge is very nicely done, same for the room. But...we really struggled with the lack of power at night which means no A/C and so very poor sleep... more

At the end of a trip it is sometimes a comforting feeling to know you have a home where, upon returning, you feel comfortable, secure, and familiar.

The restoration has been thoughtfully and carefully carried out creating a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The high ceilinged room was elegant and had a large bathroom. The veranda was a great spot to... more

Arriving on Ibo Island is either by light aircraft or boat, depending on which lodge you have been staying at before. For myself, would not have wanted it any other way but by boat. At low tide it is quite an experience, but the boatmen know the tracks so well, before you know it you are safely on dry land.... more

We visited Ibo Island Lodge last year for 6 nights. From the moment our little plane bumped down onto the island it was special. We had a room facing the water (ask for this - not all of them do), complete with four poster bed (which was covered in fresh petals when we arrived) and nice antiquey fittings. It was... more

Ibo Island Lodge is a true paradise: nice, warm people, excellent food and beautiful rooms. But also: beautiful surroundings, interesting history and nice trips. -* more
