KAE FUNK

Natural site to discover

This is the evening's must-see show at Michamvi Kae, facing Chwaka Bay, on the beach facing the sunset. An ideal spot in the mangroves for a drink (accompanied by a kebab or home fries, but the food isn't great) on a sofa or hammock to the swinging sounds of reggae during the day. Every evening, acrobats perform impressive human pyramids. A large bonfire burns and crackles, adding an enchanting touch. The atmosphere is family-friendly at the start of the evening, then more youthful and festive, even electro. On Sundays, the Sunset Beach Party is more intense and admission is charged, but it's worth the show. The show takes on contemporary dimensions, with incredible performances, body make-up and Afro-electro music (J Crew Dancers) that make a welcome change from traditional acrobatic shows. Live bands and electro DJs are also invited. We recommend arriving by pirogue from Michamvi Pingwe before sunset. Since 2023, the beach has been transformed to limit the number of entrances (unpaid to the site) and to deal with soil erosion, so you soon find your feet in the water with the sandbags forming a dike, which is a shame. The mangrove behind is magnificent, and just to the right of Kae Funk, we recommend a trip to the village beach, where children play in the water every evening. An authentic atmosphere set against the backdrop of Konokono's luxury hotel bungalows on stilts.
