Popular points of interest near the bed and breakfast include 18th Century Swahili House Museum, Lamu Museum and Lamu Fort. From the beginning, Mr Safari and the team were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. We loved how helpful Safari was from meeting us off the boat to personally escorting us to the airport. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious. The dinner was excellent - we would highly recommend ordering the fresh crab!
