These were definitely the best “cottages” we have stayed in on our three week safari. Well designed, beautifully built, well equipped and comfortable. And the lady who looked after us (Liz), was lovely!

The week in White Nyumba was simply extraordinary, every moment was enjoyed together. Felt more like part of the family than a guest. The accommodation is located a few kilometers outside the city. No problem. The house shows stylishly furnished rooms and the living zone invite you to relax and unwind. The place is peaceful and quiet, the huge warmth and hospitality is simply unbelievable. The people, starting with the very lovely owner. Trevor, the son and manager, who takes cabs to the beach or town, otherwise Tuk-tuk (3-wheeled motorcycle) Boda Boda (motorcycle) will get you into the city quickly and for little money. The cook, Saidi, who prepares very delicious lunch or dinner on request and shines with fantastically prepared and market-fresh products such as fish, seafood, chicken, vegetables, salad etc. Albert cleans the rooms, prepares and decorate the bed with fresh flowers and washes clothes on request for small amount. Karissa is responsible for the beautiful garden and pool, which invites you to chill under the palm trees at the pool. He cuttet and opened the fresh coconuts from own trees. They all do a great job, are always ready to help and sparkle with their joie de vivre. You feel at home right from the start. In any case, a reunion is guaranteed. Thank you so much.
