Popular moves from Tiwi
The most common hotel transfers from Tiwi are to Diani Beach (20–35 min), Msambweni (35–50 min) and Mombasa Island (45–70 min). Trips north to Kilifi, Watamu or Malindi use the Dongo Kundu bypass and then cross Mombasa, so we plan them around the city’s rush hours.
Checkout at 10:00 and check-in at 14:00? We can build in a lunch stop or a detour on the way.
Pickups across Tiwi
Most stays are beach cottages, self-catering houses, small lodges and the long-running Twiga Lodge campsite, reached by two access roads from the main South Coast highway.
We collect from Tiwi Beach, Tiwi village, Mwachema (Kongo) River mouth and Bata road.
Local tip
There are two access roads to Tiwi Beach. The northern one is a sandy track that gets rough after rain; the southern one is wider. Tell us the property name and we will take the better road for it.
