    Furaha House ist eine großartige kleine Pension in Shela auf Lamu Island mit nur 2 Zimmer. Mr. Nyama kümmert sich liebevoll um seine Gäste. Er ist ein sehr guter Koch (er hat mich täglich 2x mit frischem Fisch versorgt). Ich habe die Ruhe in Lamu...

The house is a stone's throw from the beach, just behind Peponi Hotel. It is also close to the Friday Mosque, UNESCO historic sites and shops/ATM. You’ll love it because of the seafront atmosphere, the wonderful rooftop view, the privacy and, last but not least, the welcoming house staff and excellent chef. Our Chef can cook anything from traditional Swahili Dishes to everyday Sea Food. He also arranges for the supply of fresh fish, lobster, Crab, Calamari and Prawns. There is a small fee for cooking service that can be negotiated directly with the house keeper. Alternatively, those who chose self-catering can do so.
