I would love to go to Shamba Viking agian!

I stayed at the wonderful Shamba Viking for two weeks in 2010. The house is a beautiful combination of traditional and contemporary architecture and have all the modern facilities one can ask for without loosing any charm. The stay was both peaceful and filled with exiting experiences thanks to the situation between the town of Lamu and the beach. The night sky over Lamu and Shamba Viking is one of a kind, it seems like all the stars to be found have gathered up together. The Viking family who runs Shamba Viking are most hospitable and everything went on very smoothly, no complaints what so ever. Lamu is definitely one of my favorite places ever visited and Shamba Viking is the place to stay.

Wonderful trip to Lamu

Me and my 9 year old daughter enjoyed 2 wonderful weeks in Lamu. Staying at Shamba Viking Lodge was a unique experience, away from the buzz of the town yet with all comforts one can ask for. It was relaxing to sit and read in the shade of the mango trees and to wake up in the dawn by the distant sound of the muezzin was an exotic treat. We can highly recommend staying at Shamba Viking Lodge!
