2 Days Lamu Island

In the early 1970’s Lamu acquired a reputation which attracted people who wanted to opt out of the “rat race”. It was classed as a place of fantasy and other worldliness wrapped in a cloak of medieval romance. The attraction to Lamu was obvious, alike to Kathmandu both are remote, unique and fascinating, self contained societies that had escaped the fast pace of the 20^th Century. They retained their culture, their centuries old way of life and their architect intact

"More Dhows than anywhere"

Lamu remains much the same today – to a degree. It has almost exclusively a Muslim population. It is Kenya’s oldest living town. To reach Lamu Island you either fly to Manda Island and connect via a boat, or use the launch from the mainland. The district commissioner owns the only motor powered vehicle (although there is the odd tractor). Streets are too narrow and winding to accommodate anything other than pedestrians and donkeys. There are probably more Dhows to be seen here than anywhere else on the East Coast.
