JamboHouse is located on beautiful Lamu Island in the North of Kenya. In our 5 rooms (all with private bathrooms) we provide a comfortably stay at reasonable rates. We have three double rooms with integrated bathroom (one of them with small private balcony) and two double rooms with private bathroom outside the room (access to them is via the corridor).
On arrival we serve you a welcome drink on our rooftop terrace where you could enjoy a nice view of Lamu Town. In the morning we also serve there our delicious breakfast (fresh juice, fruits, eggs/omelette/pancake/French Toast, toast, jam, and coffee/tea). Afternoon time we provide free coffee/tea on our rooftop terrace. We are ideally located to explore the Old Town of Lamu. We are located just 3 minutes from Town Square (with Lamu Fort) which you reach in a short walk through small lanes. Restaurants, small shops, KCB Bank (with international ATM), internet cafés are all reachable within a short walking distance. To get to famous Shela Beach you could either walk along the shore (approximately 45 min) or you could take a boat (20 min) for a small fare. Lamu Island is a fascinating small island where donkeys are the main mean of transport. On Lamu Island you find a quiet and peaceful atmosphere with friendly people, a fascinating culture, beautiful deserted beaches, good snorkeling, great sunsets… We gladly help you to arrange dhow trips, Kayak trips, diving trips, donkey rides, guides for visiting the Old Town, bushwalking, give you information’s where to get traditional Swahili dishes prepared by local people…
We are looking forward to be your host on beautiful Lamu Island.

From outside Kenya take a flight to Nairobi. From Nairobi there are several flights daily to Lamu via Malindi. From Mombasa to Lamu the easiest way to travel is by bus (6-7 hours). We wait for our guests at the jetty in Mokowe or at the Airport on Manda Island. From there it's just a 15 min boat ride to Lamu Town. For our guests we could make reservations for the bus ticket at original fare.
Negatives: There was no-one else at the hostel when I was there, but that was pretty…
Negatives: nothing
Negatives: Some parts still need finishing touches - but this is a very minor point.
Negatives: nighttime noise during the festival - but that would have been an issue anywhere !
