Yumbe House Lamu @ TOMASI Holidays Africa.
Yumbe House is in the narrow back streets of the old town and well away from the newer resort hotels that have been built recently in Lamu. The rooms are lovely, clean and traditional but basic. The staff are excellent and very attentive to your needs and requirements.
The breakfast is excellent with fresh fruit and home made breads. It is an extremely peaceful and relaxing place to be in Africa!
The rooms on the second floor and the tower room are particulary good. Yumbe House Lamu has a real local feel and the location gives you an unforgettable opportunity to experience the rich Swahili culture in the town.
We provide Lamu Boat transfer service from the Manda airstrip Jetty or Mokowe Jetty across the sea to Yumbe House located in Lamu Stone town on Lamu Island. Please indicate if you require this convenient pre-booked Lamu speed boat or Arabic Dhow transfer service when booking your accommodation at Yumbe House Lamu.
