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.
Our 4-day stay at Kijani was wonderful and relaxing. The staff were exceptional -- from the front desk to housekeeping to the restaurant -- warm, friendly, attentive, efficient, accommodating. We miss Kijani and hope to return one day again.
Lovely small hotel, right on the seafront in Shela. Attentive, friendly staff and delightful gardens including a small pool. The food is excellent and the rooftop restaurant is relaxed with fabulous views across the bay.
My room was clean and spacious, with a ceiling fan, safety deposit box and comfortable king size bed.
The hotel is well located in Shela village - the main Shela beach, often deserted, is spectacular and is a five minute wall away. and Lamu town is a 20 minute walk away or can be reached by boat taxi.
Delightful place - highly recommended.
We had such an amazing stay - the room was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and all the staff were so friendly and helpful.
The hotel is located right on the beach - you can swim here, or its just a 10min walk to the amazing Shela beach.
If you are a light sleeper, just be aware that there is a mosque nearby which may wake you up with the call to prayer - I didn't mind this at all as it's all part of the cultural experience. Just flagging to those who might want to bring earplugs!
All in all - we really had such a great stay. I can't wait to return.
Kijani is a super-charming hotel with a good restaurant and a really helpful staff. The only issue we had was that the power went out one night that we were there, leaving us too hot and sweaty to sleep.
