My stay in Lamu was truly amazing. The open space and perfect climate felt like paradise. I never wanted to get up from the hammock. Kamala, Jacky, and Jamil were great hosts, offering plenty of support throughout my stay. Although I was tempted to try other dining options, I found myself obsessed with the fantastic food served here. It was an incredibly relaxing and memorable holiday, and I hope to return again in the future.

Very nice town, with a rich culture.
Very nice town, with a rich culture. We were there for four days and three nights, which was enough for us. The first stay we visited Lamu and walked around and visited the museums, as well as toured the alleys.
The second day we did a dhow trip over to the other island and then did the sunset cruise.
The following day we wandered through the alleys of Shela and visited the beach.
I would go back to visit the reefs and go snorkeling, as they are supposed to be pristine.
I thought that Peponi has a fantastic restaurant and matched quality with price. Bahari restaurant was nice for breakfast, but didn't eat their for lunch or dinner. I ate at a couple other hotels for dinner. While their prices matched Peponi's the quality of their food did not. Perhaps for variety, it would be worth visiting the other hotels for meals, but if you are looking for a special meal, I would stick to Peponi's.

Lamu is a very unique place, but not a great place for solo women travellers - you will get a looot of unwanted attention and your personal space will be invaded constantly unless you are walking with a tour guide/ local. Most tourists seems to also spend very little time in Lamu town, but rather hang out in Shela or Manda

Went to celebrate my birthday and it was my first time in Lamu. A simple request to shiban house to make it feel special, ended up being the best birthday surprise ever...Sada thank you, my heart is overwhelmed by how you managed to surprise me 😊. Joseph took excellent care of us and was ready to help us around. I must say, I feel fulfilled even as I have turned a year younger 😂😊😂. Thank you mapenzi too for the awesome breakfast we got every day.
Shela is the best place to be in lamu. You can access lamu town easily and learn so much about the history of it, ask for the best knowledgeable guy there called 'sunshine' locally. Its near peponi hostel and majlis resort.
Make a point of doing the sunset cruise 😊 . Definately 10/10.
