Summary: Lovely, helpful staff and a great location, right by the water where you look down on everyday life, dhows, donkeys and all. Quiet garden with pool and sunloungers. Excellent rooftop restaurant. 30 minute walk to Lamu or short boatride. Large, traditional rooms so don't expect TVs.

Summary: I cannot say enough good things about Kijani and its amazing staff. Tito and his team were all very welcoming, warm and personable, and always went above and beyond for their guests. The place in itself is beautiful, airy and peaceful, beautifully designed and centrally located. The food was amazing and everything was so fresh. It's been over 30 years since I've been back in Kenya and our stay in Kijani was the perfect homecoming. I look forward to returning to Lamu and know that Kijani will be the place we'll set up base at. I'd say it felt like a home away from home, but it was better than that. Thank you so much to everyone there, you all are the very best.

Summary: The Kijani is a beautiful Hotel with well kept tropical grounds and aesthetically pleasing rooms and suits. Rooms are furnished with Swahili antiques. The breakfast is delicious with a vast Menü to choose from. The restaurant has a gorgeous view over the bay. Restaurant provides gourmet experiences of international and Swahili cuisine which can match Restaurants in Los Angeles or elsewhere. Staff is accommodating is super friendly. If you are looking to unplug from western civilization but still spoil yourself the Kihjani is an excellent choice

Summary: Kijani is a beautiful hotel on the water’s edge in Shela Village, Lamu. Traditional Swahili architecture, simple rooms, verandahs with daybeds suspended from the roof from which you can also gaze at the stars at night; gracious staff and good food make for a perfect stay. Superb yoga classes are nearby at Banana House and Lamu town is a walk, boda ride or boat ride away. Bougainvillea and coconut palms are Abu sang in the garden- and there’s a small pool for cooling off if you don’t fancy the beach. A really beautiful and peaceful location.
