The Mnarani Club is utterly perfect as far as we are concerned. We have travelled to many places but none as good as this one, and that includes 5*'s. If you are looking for tranquillity and relaxation or activities and entertainment, this place has it all. It's also nice and small so the level of personal service able to be... More

Just returned from Kilifi where I spent four days with a safari in the middle of them. My travelling companion was my 11 year old granddaughter. We shared a twin bedded room with a shower and toilet en suite. Initially we were offered a double bed (possibly misinterpreting the 'Mr and Miss' with different surnames.) Mentioned the matter to one... More

The Mnarani is the sort of place where you can enjoy a relaxed informal style of holiday without compromising on the service or quality. We have both just returned from a two week stay completely refreshed and relaxed. The Hotel is managed by a South African couple Henk and Elma who are continually coming up with new projects to enhance... More
