We are pleased to announce that the US State Department has reviewed their travel restriction for Lamu and lifted the travel warning to the Island. This wonderful news was posted on the State Department's website on 4th April 2012.
Lamu is an ancient Arab island, blissfully lost in the tides of history with its historical mosques and narrow streets. The island itself is characterised by rolling dunes, endless beaches and tiny villages nestled among coconut and mango plantations. There are no vehicles on the island and the donkey and the dhow remain the dominant form of transport. To experience this magical location, please contact us.

Hogmead and Kicheche Valley Camp have been voted as the Best New Hotels in Kenya for 2012 by Conde Nast Traveler. The two are among 121 properties in 49 countries that were selected by 41 Conde Nast reporters to make this year's Hot List.
Opened in July 2011, Kicheche Valley Camp is located in Naboisho Conservancy in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The camp consists of just six tents, each with a king-size bed and with enough space to add a children's bed.
Also opened in 2011, Hogmead is a new boutique property located on the border of a giraffe sanctuary in the leafy outskirts of Nairobi. The hotel has six rooms in the main house and seven in a converted stable.
