Kisimani House
Originally built in the 18th century for
the Caliph of Zanzibar, Kisimani has been carefully restored, extended
and beautifully furnished in Swahili style. The atmosphere is redolent
of the Arabian Nights with cool spacious interiors providing a delicious
contrast to the hot, bright outdoors. There are no cars on Lamu
Island so life moves at the pace of dhows and donkeys and to the
tune of the mosques.
Additional single beds, a large outside
living/dining area and numerous private verandas at each level complement
the 4 en suite bedrooms. The two top levels have spectacular views
of the ocean, the archipelago and of life in Shela.
One of the outstanding features of this
house is its staff, Sammy the cook and Fred the house steward, who
will both ensure your stay is memorable. The house is a minute’s
walk from endless white beaches and crystal clear water.
