    Went to celebrate my birthday and it was my first time in...

    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.
