Camp Details
Manzili house is a sanctuary offering a harmonious blend of comfort, culture, and coastal elegance. Manzili House is centred around a lush courtyard and inviting swimming pool, forming the heart of the property. Both houses feature elegant bars, lounges, and dining spaces where classic European sensibilities meet the timeless Swahili architecture of the Lamu archipelago. The rooftop terrace, adorned with large white stone tables and plush seating, is a quiet retreat for sundowners and slow moments under the sky. Both houses include spacious open-plan kitchens, cosy lounges, and welcoming fireplaces that make this home as warm in spirit as it is in design. To deepen the sense of stillness, massages can be arranged, allowing guests to unwind completely in this haven of peace and tranquility.
Tucked away in the lush, tranquil suburb of Karen, Nairobi, Manzili House is more than just a luxury boutique home; it is a sanctuary of culture, craftsmanship, and personal connection wrapped up in a home-away-from-home feel.

Manzili sleeps up to eight guests in four ensuite double rooms, while Manzili Ndoto accommodates four guests across two thoughtfully designed rooms, each with a private veranda.
