My girlfriend and I stayed at Kijani for 3 nights. It has all the amenities you could possibly need and a beautiful garden area with a pool. The staff are so friendly and are always on hand to help you with nothing being too much effort. The restaurant is also home to some of the best seafood I have ever had. Overall, fantastic value for money!

This is my 3rd time staying at Kijani and once again I had the best of times. Top on my list is the hospitable staff (Elizabeth, Issa, Fred to mention but a few) , you feel right at home. I have previously visited as a solo traveler and would highly recommend for solo travelers too The food is absolutely amazing and they offer gluten free and lactose free options too. The sea food options and smoothie bowls are a must try The rooms are clean and have a Coastal vibe going, they all have an amazing view, be it the the ocean view or the absolutely beautiful garden with the pool, or both. I also love that they are environmentally conscious with zero plastic and non-toxic personal care items PS: Make sure you try the sunrise walk on the beach and the sunset dhow cruise

Kijani was a wonderful 4 night stay - comfortable, really spacious rooms, an amazing courtyard and pool area to relax in and a great restaurant - the food for breakfast, lunch and dinner was delicious (especially the famous fish curry) and even when we were not eating there the smell of fresh fish roasting over coal in the early evening never failed to get the appetite going. The best part of the stay was the staff who were fantastic from check-in to check-out - all of them super friendly and helpful, no ask or request too much and smiling at all times. A special shout-out to Bonnie who accompanied us to and from the airport with such care and great conversation (we are very happy Arsenal beat Southampton by the way Bonnie). Highly recommend to visit wonderful Lamu, and you won't regret a stay at Kijani.

Kijani is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the breeze while looking at the ocean. The staff are attentive and very friendly. They will do their absolute best to make sure you feel welcome. The food is great and the coffee is the best you will find on the entire island!

Kijanis is a lovely restaraunt and hotel - the food is amazing, the staff are super nice (Issa is your guy!). Its a very nice place to spend time and have dinner. Cocktails are the best in shela, especially the singapore sling and gin basil for the gin lovers... Highly recommend coming here -Michael and Agnes

Fab experience! Kids loved it. Free roaming tortoises a draw. Authentic and charming staff. Great location. Curries were delicious. Best curries I’ve had in a long time. Sundowners on the deck chairs offer an exciting view of all the dhow boats returning. Def worth a look in!

What an undiscovered gem! The friendliest staff! Amazing sea views from our room with clean and comfortable bedrooms and bathroom. The pool was our life saver as it was sooo hot! You definitely need to book somewhere with a pool, it gets super hot on this little island. The staff here are so friendly and made us feel like part of the family! Especially Issa! He went out of his way to make our time here memorable! Always with a big smile and a great sense of humour! The seafood platter here was to die for! Never had anything like it before! Do yourself a favour and book here.

It was a first in Lamu and Kijani set our expectations high! The most polite and friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Weather was pleasant but needed their newly fitted Air conditioners after a day in the town! THE FOOD IS IMPECCABLE! soo many varieties and full of flavour! loved it!! Definitely worth a visit!

Enjoyed the Sunset Dhow experience , its calming and out of this world, very therapeutic. The menu is good but there is need for more variety to choose from.The morning walk is very refreshing .Lamu Old town has a rich heritage , you cannot visit Shela without taking a walk in the town I love white towels anytime I travel, the dark green towels provided are a put off for me.May be white towels should be considered
