The drive from Moi International to Msambweni
The route follows the bypass and the South Coast road past Ukunda and Diani, then continues south towards Msambweni town and the beach turn-offs.
On the way you pass Dongo Kundu bypass, Kombani, Ukunda and Gazi. Because the bypass avoids Mombasa island, traffic rarely adds much time outside public holidays.
Where we drop off in Msambweni
Stays are mostly boutique resorts and private villas along the shore; Funzi Island lodges are reached by boat from Bodo jetty.
Regular drop-offs include Msambweni town, Msambweni beach, Gazi, Bodo and Funzi Island. Once you have settled in, Funzi Island and Gazi Women Mangrove Boardwalk are close by.
Good to know before you land
For Funzi Island lodges we drive you to Bodo jetty and time the pickup to the lodge’s boat.
Uber and Bolt work at the airport, but on a 55 km trip drivers sometimes decline, or ask to switch to cash once they see the luggage. A pre-booked car removes that uncertainty after a long flight.
