Lamu is the real Swahili Coast. The atmosphère is authentic.
Lamu is the real Swahili Coast. The atmosphère is authentic. With everyone on foot because there are no cars the sense of community is very strong. Architectural style of the village has been well maintained. There are good local eateries, and the peponi restaurant in Shella village is outstanding. We went everywhere by water taxi. Charming!Guest review byOnowheremanUnited States - 10.0

I liked that Lamu is a small town, easy to walk about and no pollution say for donkey dung. There are many eateries with all kinds of meals, loved the seafood restaurants near the jetty. Lamu is safe for travellers and the community is very welcoming. Easy to get around either by speed boat, dhow or slow engine boats if not in a rush. The weather is warm and windy especially in the evening. People prefer to walk about and sit around the seafront at night where there is good ocean breeze before retiring for bed. Fishing is a great recreation activity which we all enjoyed while in Lamu.Guest review byEstherAustralia - 10.0

Lamu is a small conservative town rich in culture with very friendly people. I like that most restaurants are at the beachfront and I can recommend a few with what they offer: 1. Forodhani Lamu- for local cuisine like pilau, biriyani etc. It was the most affordable. 2. Sailors Joint- for shawarma, pizza and sea food. I went here almost everyday for their shawarma, so so flavorful. 3. Bush Gardens Sea food restaurant- for seafood especially. Had the best fresh mango juice. 4. Rangarelli Cafe- in Shela has the best local food there 5. Gelamu- for gelato ice-cream, this is in Shela.Guest review bySalleyKenya - 10.0

We were looking for privacy and relaxation as well as some outings to get to know Lamu better so our location on Manda island with private boat service to anywhere was ideal Some recommendable eating places included peponi and kijani hotels in Shela, garden restaurant on Lamu sea front We also enjoyed Lamu museum and the Flip-floppy enterprise for recycling all kinds of waste plasticsGuest review byAnonymous - 10.0

Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history.
Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history. The people are very friendly and welcoming. For instance - the town can be like a labyrinth, which makes it a bit challenging sometimes to find spots - even with Google Maps. Either people ask you if you need help or you can ask them and they show you the way - many of them even walked us to the location. This experience was so wonderful - I would definitely come back again.Guest review byMeronGermany

- From $1,000 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 104 reviewsThe hotel and the those that work here are fabulous. We had originally planned to stay for 2 nights, but ended up staying for 4. The hotel is right in the beach in Shela and about a 2 minute walk from the main part of Shela. The staff were fabulous and couldn’t do enough to help. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was also excellent. The brekfast was plentiful and tasty, and the evening menu was also very good. Honestly, this place is a really gem and I would recommend it to anyone.Guest review byAlexUnited Kingdom
- From $57 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 6.5Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 52 reviewsThe room I got at janataan was sub par and I cancelled the booking but I was transferred to Shela White House Near the beach hassle free The mango juice was awesome The service guy Safari/ safiri was ready to help plus the tall guy (name has slipped my mind) that helped with the bags when we got to Shela I had left the water bottle and the ensured it was delivered to the airport 🙂Guest review byAnonymousKenya
- From $141 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 21 reviewsA truly fantastic location right on the beach, with beautiful massive baobab trees in the garden. The house is very basic, a bit like camping. It's very lovely, but a bit overpriced for what it is - the Manda Bay premium. Advice: it is cheaper and better to eat at one of the nearby resorts, than at the house.Guest review byMargoSwitzerland
