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 - 10.0
Great, quaint town.
Great, quaint town. The scent of the donkey excrement is off-putting but seeing them is sublime. Being a coastal town, there are many ‘captains’. I had my transport pre-organized with my accommodation so be weary of that and potential scams, as well as the impromptu tour guides. Touch water, take a sunset sail boat ride, and visit the beach, maybe even Shela. Locals were very nice and friendly, warm welcomes. Affordable restaurants as well, Sailor’s Joint for example. I stayed at Subira House.Guest review byDaenCanada

- From $96 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 26 reviewsThe location is very central in Lamu Old Town. Close to the port so easy to get to when arriving from Manda airport and anywhere else you might be traveling in from. The property is open and spacious, very clean and Zion was very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The property is well equipped and each of the 3 rooms a good size. The pool was a nice option to cool off in. Le Dolce Toro is a great nearby coffee shop with outdoor space and Peponi Hotel was a lovely spot for lunch/dinner.Guest review byDeeUnited Kingdom
- From $155 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 280 reviewsI loved everything. They take care about every detail, the staff is extremely kind, and the breakfast is super delicious, with plenty of yummy home made products. We appreciate that Thomas was kind while we lost in Lamu town, and the captain of the boat to Shela had to wait for us 10 minutes or so.Guest review byMatteoItaly
- From $50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 110 reviewsThe service of organising our special guide for a tour through town.
