Lamu – a trip back to the 16th century
In the North of the Kenya Coast, the island town of Lamu offers a breathtaking experience of East African history. The entire town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserved in its 16th century African-Arabian style. There are no cars, the streets are narrow and winding, and all buildings built from coral rock. It is hard to point out one specific place worth seeing, as the entire island is a must-see. Make sure to take a dhow ride, and don’t be afraid to spend much time on board of it. In Lamu there is never any hurry, and there is no such thing as a time schedule. Just do like the locals, and do things at your pace and convenience!
