2 days Lamu Excursion from Mombasa, Malindi
or Nairobi by Air, Lamu Island Tour, Lamu Safari
Lamu is a truly unique place, town unaffected by the passage
of time it is a romantic town that has survived time without
undergoing changes for almost a whole century. Lamu streets are
narrow and winding. There are probably more dhows to be seen
here than anywhere else along the East African Coast. The beach
is magnificent and uncluttered. It’s one of the most relaxing
places you will ever have the pleasure to visit. The perfect
place for honeymooners, couples and retirees.

In the morning transfer from
your Hotel in Mombasa or Nairobi to the airport for the flight
to Lamu. Lamu’s appeal derives from the unique character of the
people who live there. Although based on the Islamic religion,
most customs derive solely from the Swahili culture, a people of
mixed Bantu and Arab blood, who many centuries ago were
prosperous and politically powerful. Outwardly little has
changed in this strictly Islamic enclave, where the only
motorcar belongs to the District Officer. The elegant
centuries-old houses with their fountains in flower-filled
courtyards reflect a heritage that had running water, plumbing
and simple air-condition while Europe was still in dark ages.
Upon arrival at Manda airstrip transfer by boat to New Lamu
Palace Hotel where your lunch is served. In the afternoon and
evening spend time to discover Lamu. Lamu Palace Hotel,

fish and seafood dishes dominate the superb cuisine. The boat
also takes the guests to the hotel's private Manda Island beach
for snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing. Excursions to the
surrounding areas including Pate Island can be arranged at the
