Campbell, who takes sanitisation very seriously, has made sure the home is as impeccable as ever:

“Because of the air, wind, and sea salt, things can break down very quickly here, but it’s held up so well, and it’s just like a piece of art in itself.”

She has collected furniture and decor from all over Africa; Latika lanterns from Morocco, several large-scale tableau maps of Africa, and Kenyan-made tables and doors, for example.

She says she likes to keep things local as much as possible.

The hand-carved wooden doors that have two men dancing in traditional ceremonial dress were designed by Armando Tanzini, an award-winning artist who has lived and worked in Malindi for many years.

The house is topped with Makuti roofs, handmade from the sun-dried leaves of the coconut palm, which have been a staple in East Africa for centuries.
