Offering a garden and quiet street view, Wildebeeste Lamu is set in Lamu, 300 metres from Gallery Baraka and 500 metres from Lamu Museum. It is situated 300 metres from Lamu Fort and features a shared kitchen. The guest house has family rooms. The place is big and well equipped. It's also very clean. If you are looking for air conditioning and hot water, this is not the place but honestly I didn't need them during my staying. I advice this place for solo travellers. The place is very central. You find everything you need, from historical places to markets and restaurants. Joshua, the owner of the place is a very kind person, always available and committed to improve your staying.
