This enchanting Kenya Island is commonly referred to as the world?s sleepy village, probably the oldest African living town. Lamu has retained its charm and character built over centuries and most recently declared by the United Nations as a world heritage site.

The Portuguese invaded Lamu in the 1500s and Kenya only became independent in 1963 and until the 19th century slave trade Dax McCarty World Cup Jersey , timber and spice export was Lamu?s economic pillar, now tourism plays a huge role. The beauty of Lamu is that there are presently no cars in the island, every man owns a donkey, the one without is commonly referred to as one.

From your roof top don?t miss the sunset and the undisturbed dhows sailing into dock as fishermen arrive with loads for fresh fish to be distributed across the island.
