The lodge staff is gentle and kind, the sea... more

We had rented the whole villa but we had... more

I have just returned from a most enjoyable stay in Kipepeo. I had been ill whilst working in Uganda and found the lodge an excellent place to recuperate, relax and take some time out. An enviable setting in paradise and most helpful manager - Kim. Highly recommended. more
