Mfangano Island Camp is an oasis of tranquillity offering a sublime retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. As the island has just one road, the only way to reach Mfangano Island is by light aircraft, an adventure in itself. You land on a dusty airstrip and then it’s a short ride by speedboat to the camp. Your first view is of beautiful gardens with lawns hugging the waterline and a kaleidoscope of flowerbeds and rock gardens surrounding the camp.
