Overview
Come to Lamu Town to see and feel a beautifully preserved piece of history. Walking Lamu’s narrow streets of coral stone you will experience perhaps the oldest and best-preserved Swahili community in East Africa.
No cars are allowed on Lamu – donkeys set the pace here. With its courtyards, verandas and elaborate architecture, you’ll feel as though you’ve entered another world and another time in Lamu.
In keeping with the retreat-like atmosphere, Lamu hosts religious festivals and is a study center for Islamic and Swahili cultures.
There’s much to be discovered in this charming, historic town. Stroll nearby Shella beach and enjoy a sail on an authentic dhow. Everything about the Lamu experience is serene and yet also unforgettable.
From Nairobi, you’ll fly to the airstrip at neighbouring Manda Island and then take a small boat to Lamu Island and the village. All ages are welcome on this special tour.
