Lamu is a town, an island and an archipelago on the Kenyan coast, located south of the equator near the Somalian border. Lamu is well known for its unique swahili culture with roots from the Persian and Omani kingdoms, Arabia and India going back more than eight hundred years. Lamu has a character of its own, still keeping to its original charm. Life here moves no faster than the speed of a donkey or a dhow, the local sail boat. This is as far off streamlined mass tourism you can get on the East African coast.
