I am a British Architect who was based in Nairobi and loves travel. I've worked on a variety of cultural, hospitality, social and commercial projects throughout Europe and Africa. I'm keen on art, literature, watersports, and the house is my home when I'm in Kenya... which regretably isn't often enough. When you make your reservation you will be dealing with me directly, and I'm happy to answer any of your queries both pre-during your stay.

Samaki House is a great location to experience and observe the Historic centre, whilst enjoy rooftop views and a 180 degree view of the water front. In close proximity are the Museums, Fort, Market places, and Historic Mosques. Lamu House Hotel is adjacent to us, and there is a good selection of restaurants along the waterfront and in town.
