We arrived to CHE SHALE with high expectations from reviews that we read in the net and things that we saw on their website. Our stay there was above all ideas that we had in all maners. The staff from Justin & Isabele through all others were the best hospitalable could be. All were always taking care and had the... More

a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Che Shale for making our 6 night stay so very enjoyable. We loved everything, the friendly dogs which kept us company the whole day, the "out of Africa" deluxe banda, the fantastic and very tasty food and the really nice staff who cared for us in such a warm and simple way, that...

Spent only one night in Che Shale but it was enough to convince me that I can never again go anywhere else in Malindi. I would say that Che Shale is the 'beach' equivalent of some of the upscale ecologically-minded tented camps in Kenya's national parks: a perfect mix of rustic simplicity and green luxury. There is a lot of... More

We stayed here late September this year after a week on safari and what an amazing place for relaxation. The setting was so beautiful and romantic and the rooms were out of this world.

Just got back from 12 day trip in Kenya, safari in the Maasai Mara and 6 nights at the beach. Safari first and then beach is the way to go, not the other way around, you spend loads of hours sitting in the safari car and you'll enjoy the walking on the beach and swimming after that! We spent 2... More
