Detailed Trip Description
This tour takes you to Lamu: a town, an island and an archipelago. Lamu has an ambience of medieval romance that attracts those who are offended by the burdens of our modern existence. It has in recent years found favour with the international glitterati. Life in the island goes on almost like it did in the 14th century when the settlement was founded. The Lamu museum is on the waterfront, occupying a house once occupied by Jack Haggard, Queen Victoria's consul in this then important outpost. This museum is a small gem, housing a collection of Swahili artifacts, jewelry, and crafts unequalled anywhere else. Your stay is in a top rated hideaway- the Kipungani Bay Beach Resort.
