Hello, my name is Tarik Sanchez. I spent my early years in Lamu until the age of 5 before moving to Mombasa at 12. My roots run deep in this region, with my mother and half of my family hailing from here. Together with my mother, I am proud to offer our childhood home and other beautifully designed properties for your stay.
