WHERE TO STAY IN LAMU
You will never be disappointed when you choose an accommodation on Lamu Island using the AfricanMecca Beach Tier rating system. Our ranking system is based on independent and objective evaluations, and each tier reflects the quality of the location, lodging, service, food, activities and several other factors that influence your experience.
At the highest Tier 1 end are the premier, luxury accommodations, such as Majlis Resort and Manda Bay. Both of these boutique accommodations offer few guest rooms, so you received the highest level of personalized service. Majlis Resort has 25 rooms and suites situated within three separate villas, and Manda Bay offers 16 cottages with ocean or garden views.
The mid-range Tier 2 level accommodations on Lamu Island are perfect should you be willing to pay for special considerations in meals, room size and activities. One such deluxe accommodation on Lamu Island is the castaway style Kipungani or even Kizingo Lodge that features 8 beach bandas built of local materials.
Another mid-range accommodation to consider is Peponi Hotel in Shela Village, a 29-room lodging that offers both rooms and suites. Economical accommodations on Lamu Island fit every budget, and these lodgings are one of the best choices for all kinds of travelers (read more on when is the best time to go to Lamu). Mikes Camp on the deserted beach on Kiwayu Island offer barefoot stays and Kijani Hotel and Lamu House in the old town give you a calm place to rest, and you are free to plan and enjoy your island activities at your leisure.

AfricanMecca Safari could not have been more helpful through the entire process of planning our trip to Kenya. Our trip to Lamu (a suggestion by Raza) was incredible, and Kizingo is a perfect place to stay there. All in all, we had an amazing time in Kenya.
Jordan Klein & Anna Kohanski - New York, United States
Lamu was fabulous. hot and sunny and we again were delighted with our accommodation. Everything was run smoothly and without any hitches and we are most grateful for a truly memorable holiday of a life time. You organised everything efficiently which made life so easy for us.
Angela Cook - London, United Kingdom
I had just the BEST time in Lamu - quite probably the holiday of my life - and am determined to go back in November. I have to say, the holiday was made by Altaf's dedication to what I needed - he worked very hard to ensure I got the full ten night stay at Kipungani, and I was impressed to say the least. Many thanks - I'll be back.
Jeremy King, Senior Producer GMTV - London, United Kingdom
Raza, I have returned from the trip to Kenya you arranged. It went quite well and all of your advice about hotels etc was correct and prevented me from doing things less than optimal. I really enjoyed Lamu; it is one of the best beaches I have seen.
Dr Thomas Walshe - Boston, Massachusetts - United States
Raza, I want to tell you that all aspects of our travel arrangements with you ran smoothly. Our visit to Lamu was most enjoyable and a pleasant contrast to the highlands. I will unreservedly recommend AfricanMecca to others.
Peter Moody - Cape Town, South Africa
I wanted to email you to say how well all your arrangements came together for Lamu - Peponi Hotel. The logistics worked very well, the venues fulfilled all expectations - the whole experience was splendid.
Robyn Taylor - Brisbane, Australia
Lamu Palace was really quite exotic, with again wonderful people, in great location, I felt like I was in the movie Casablanca. I will recommend your company to anyone I know travelling to Kenya. In deep appreciation...
