Lamu archipelago, consisting of an island, Lamu town and villages, lies along the Kenya coast north of Mombasa, and is Kenya's oldest town still in existence.
Lamu began life centuries ago as a swahili settlement and today still retains the charm and mystique of an ancient town, where vehicles are rare, transport is by mules and the pace of life is so relaxed one would feel far removed from the modern world as we know it.
Lamu is therefore a must see location for those who aspire to get away from it all, and Lamu also has several superb hotels and guesthouses, small and boutique-like , full of character. See our list of Lamu Hotels below and some popular sights and sounds of this famous Swahili town. |
