Firefly Eco Retreat is a hidden gem just a short drive from the breathtaking Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest, which is only 44 km away. Here, you can relax in a cozy accommodation that features not just a comfortable room, but also an inviting restaurant and a refreshing outdoor swimming pool. Add to that a lush garden and a lovely terrace, and you have the perfect spot to unwind. Oh, and did I mention that WiFi and private parking come at no extra cost? Yes, please!

Each unit offers a seating and dining area – perfect for those lazy breakfasts or casual dinners with friends and family. Speaking of breakfast, you have some tasty options to choose from, whether you’re in the mood for a buffet, à la carte, or even a vegetarian spread.

If you’re looking for some fun activities, you can challenge your buddies to a game of billiards right on site or grab your snorkeling gear and explore the stunning underwater world nearby.

And there’s more! Colobus Conservation sits just 48 km away, while the fascinating Shimoni Slave Caves are practically around the corner. Plus, if you’re flying in, Ukunda Airport is only 54 km away, and they offer a convenient paid shuttle service to whisk you to your slice of paradise.
