greystoke mahale

As you make the approach to Greystoke by dhow, the outline of the camp is visible against a backdrop of deep green forest and pale beach. The focal point of Greystoke is the bar and dining area rising up from the sand and loosely modelled on traditional Tongwe architecture. Six exotic wooden bandas lookout across the beach, with interiors fashioned from seasoned dhow timber. The suites are open-fronted, with adjoining bathrooms, and upstairs chill-out decks.
