About Vipingo & Kilifi
Vipingo sits on the Kilifi coast, north of Mombasa. It’s peaceful, green, and close to the ocean. You’ll find small towns, welcoming people, and easy access to beaches, coral reefs, and nature. Whether you’re visiting family, working, or taking a break by the sea, Vipingo is a calm place to land and a great base to explore. Note: The Vipingo airstrip is within a private estate, but the area offers much more than that local beaches, marine life, fresh seafood, and coastal culture.
