Overview
This beautiful group of islands in the north of the country is one of the most popular holiday destinations for beach holidays in Kenya. Yellow fine sandy beaches, blue lagoons, fabulous dune landscapes, a lot of peace and a friendly Arabic culture are only some of the many highlights of the Lamu archipelago. Stay in small hotels or in holiday homes, which harmoniously blend into the exotic vegetation with their thatched roofs. In the holiday homes there are also often own personnel, which takes care of drinks and food and makes your stay a particularly relaxed experience. Are you looking for relaxation and peace in paradise? Then you’ve come to the right place.
Lamu Island is a distinctive beach and cultural travel destination in Africa. With a history that dates back to the 14th century, the island represents a time when life was much simpler, and you will quickly forget the stress and hectic pace of life back home. In late 2001, the old town of Lamu was honored with the designation of a World Heritage Site UNESCO to signify the significant global cultural asset found in what has become the oldest settled Swahili town south of the Sahara. The island is situated in the archipelago of the same name and shares the area with several other islands, including the two other larger islands of Pate and Manda. Access to these islands is primarily boat, as only a small channel separates the islands from mainland Kenya
