My father and I spent a few incredible days at Manzili House. The house is very beautifully designed built with traditional influences, by Lamu craftsmen. A lot of attention has been put into the details of the design and decoration. The rooms are spacious while intimate at the same time. We had some beautiful get-togethers on the roof terrace (which is shaded by acacia trees!). You can easily go walking around the village of Karen, and have a little swim in the pool afterwards. Our hosts and the staff were attentive and gracious..... unforgettable

I had the privilege of being the first guest upon arrival from New York and was immediately transported to Lamu because of the architecture. I had breakfast under the acacia canopy on the rooftop followed by a swim and was very sad to leave on my safari as I felt at home immediately. The place is spacious yet cozy and very peaceful. I highly recommend a stay there
