Kijani House

From: £1,260

Kijani House is a small, very exclusive and charming hotel overlooking the entrance to the Shela Channel on the ancient island of Lamu. After a 90 minute flight from Nairobi, you will be met at Manda Island and transported by boat for 15 mins to the hotel. The hotel is situated within a tropical garden and the veranda of your spacious en-suite room, furnished with coastal antiques, is the ideal place for unwinding.
You can also work up an appetite walking from the gardens and along the 12 km Shela Beach, returning to an exotic selection of seafood, Swahili dishes and a touch of Italian cuisine in the Kijani Restaurant
