Go to Lamu, When You Just Need a Place to Rest

The Northern Kenya Coast...Lamu Island.

It's an old Port, an old Town, a Tropical Island...
... Timeless Beaches and White Sand.

Today it is best known for its Beaches.
Perhaps a little isolated...which makes it a good place to rest

(Sometimes when people use the word "just" they think it means "Only"...
... That is Not what I mean.
There are other things to do.)

lamu kenya

It's a place that's 'Quaint', with dhows and old architecture-

  • Massive carved wooden doors
  • Homes made of coral and stone
  • The town has been there since the 14 century.
  • The history goes back much farther.

    There is a mix of culture: Swahili, and Arab traders.
    Spend some time with the local people there.

    As a port, it was once a center for slave trade.
    You'll find Mosques and Museums.

    Since there are No Cars -but Many donkeys-
    you fly to Manda Island and go by boat.

    You can see the Old Town and stay there.

    The main beach is at Shela- a beach village on the island. You can also stay there.
    (there is a rumor that you can find delectable
    seafood at some of the restaurants there.)

    You can find lodging arrangements here.
    Lamu hotels
