Nyama is a great host and the hotel management was very good with communication about how to reach the house. They also arranged for me the transportation from the airport jetty to Shela.

Gorgeous house with amazing swahili flair, lovely hosts. Seems like they contribute to the Lamu community in a big way, they are well known and loved with everyone I spoke to. Hotel staff will help you organize any outing you‘d like, I can recommend Dhow trips, but they also help with other activities (plus reasonable pricing recommendations). Eco friendly facilities and the breakfast is amazing with ingredients sourced almost exclusively from their own Lamu farm.

A fantastic 3 nights at Gaba Gaba house with Tommy and Abdalla. A beautifully decorated, impeccably kept house. Tommy is an excellent chef — his meals were sublime - and Abdalla organized everything perfectly. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We had a magical week at Mangrove House. It’s simple but perfect, and in an absolutely ideal location. Breakfast was always delicious, and Nyevu and Harrison were so helpful and gracious. We would recommend Mangrove House to anyone looking for a unique, private, gorgeous place in Lamu.
