Petley's Inn

Petley's Inn in Lamu, Kenya coat

This beautiful and historic inn is the oldest accommodation place on Lamu Island. Lined on the waterfront near the museum, Petley's Inn is furnished in authentic Lamu style with a blend of African and Arabic.

The hotel building is a typical 19th century colonial building with balconies and a palm-thatched roof. Ornately carved wood, fascinating artifacts, verandas and terrace come together to create a restful and stylish ambience. It has eleven rooms equipped with air-condition. It offers an open air penthouse, a swimming pool and a popular roof-top bar.

Petley’s is based on bed and breakfast (BB). If you come on half board (HB) or full board (FB), you will have to use the main restaurant at the Lamu Palace which is 400m from Petley’s.

Safari Destinations

Visit Zanzibar Beach

Just like Tanzania, Zanzibar is three hours in the advance of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+3). It doesn't operate daylight saving time, and consequently there's no time difference between Zanzibar's summer and winter months.

Discover Uganda

Uganda is a truly “authentic” safari destination - definitely less sophisticated than Tanzania or Kenya in terms of infrastructure and not in the same “big game” league, but equally untouched and as genuine as Africa gets.
Uganda’s gorillas, chimps, birds and the wider range of special-interest attractions (from butterflies to orchids) makes it a perfect match for first timers and seasoned African visitors alike.

Visit Tanzania

Tanzania home to Africa's most dramatic and famous features. Fantastic wildlife, stunning scenery and idyllic beaches Tanzania is virtually unrivalled in terms of wildlife population and diversity. From the biggest African plains, the Serengeti, to the highest African mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro, to the deepest African Lake Tanganyika.
Pemba offers classic tropical beaches to those wanting to get away from the crowds, whilst the Selous Game Reserve never disappoints those looking for lion and elephant!
