Ndoro Sculpture Garden Malindi

Reviewed By P6699JWtracyn

Ndoro is a piece of heaven! A stunning garden with Zimbabwean Shona sculpture placed like hidden treasures. Carola is the perfect host. She knows her subject & we learned a lot. She is kind & thoughtful- offering drinks while showing her displays. The tour ended with a very affordable gift shop - jewelry, metal sculpture. But most of the Shona pieces are available to buy, too. Highly recommend scheduling an appointment to see this great spot in Malindi!! Tracy N., San Rafael, CA

Diani Beach Art Gallery

Reviewed By KPNBO - Nairobi, Kenya

Continues to be a great gallery. Well curated and the staff know about the works. Do ask to be shown the other rooms - there are now display rooms on both ground and upper floor (so if you find one closed, have a look for the other).

Lamu Museum

Reviewed By Nadi4ah - Nairobi, Kenya

The museum was very well set-up and maintained. By buying entrance you get a guide that takes you through the different rooms and explains more about the Lamu culture: from cooking, to architecture, wood carved doors, dhows and different tribes. Also worth to climb the ladder and visit the rooftop if possible!
