Lamu is ancient, exotic, and mysterious.  Kenya’s oldest inhabited Swahili town, Lamu feels like a time gone by. Cobblestone pathways, just wide enough for a donkey, wind through walls and homes made of coral, sand and lime. There are no cars, there are no streets.  Famous for its Swahili architecture, Lamu is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a fusion of ancient worlds— the locals speak Swahili, the architecture is Middle Eastern, and the curry and spice is Indian. Its charm and character flow from centuries of loving care. A place to relax and reflect. Wander the beaches, laze in a hammock, swim in the Indian Ocean, and sail along the coast at sunset under the lateen sail of an old-world dhow.
