Lamu Holidays - Enjoy a range of beautiful hotels and lodges on city, beach and safari holidays in Lamu with Africa Sky

Peponi Hotel

From: £1,459

Peponi hotel is found on the ancient Arab island of Lamu, where there is only one car and the narrow streets of the old town are very much as they were. After a 90 minute flight from Nairobi, you will be met at Manda Island and transported by boat for 15 mins to the hotel.
Run by the Korschen family and retaining much of the character and charm that it had when it opened in 1967, Peponis offers first class service, excellent food and endless relaxation. Small and personal, Peponis is the perfect rest after a safari or a hide away holiday from modern life
