Forming part of the Lamu Archipelago along Kenya’s spectacular coastline, Lamu Island is a peaceful tropical island where life moves slowly. This charming island is mostly blanketed in sand dunes, mango trees, and palm groves. Lamu Old Town is one of the best-preserved and oldest Swahili settlements in East Africa, featuring many influences from Omani Arabs, Turkish and Portuguese traders, who all left their mark. To this day there are only a few vehicles on the island and in many respects, the narrow streets, footpaths and alleyways, and markets have barely changed in hundreds of years. All of this adds a level of ancient mystique to your exciting getaway.
