Amazing stay at the Jambo house!! Arnold was an incredible host who will welcome you with open arms. The room was very clean and spacious with a very nice fan included too. I highly recommend staying here as you get to truly experience Lamu town and you can do day trips to the beach which Arnold can help you organize. Very great experience here!!!

Had such a lovely stay at Jambo house. Arnold is incredibly welcoming and took his time to show us local restaurants and how to get around. The free breakfast is also amazing - Fred makes the best eggs! There's a lovely rooftop to relax on and it's in a perfect location to explore Lamu.
