Popular Destinations in Kenya - Lamu Island

Lamu is a place like no other, a peaceful tropical island where life is lived at it’s own relaxed rhythm, but a place whose history is as mysterious and fascinating as the winding streets of it’s medieval stone town. The island itself is a beautiful place of rolling dunes and endless beaches, where tiny villages nestle among coconut and mango plantations and lateen sailed dhows ply the waters. But Lamu’s real attraction is its Old town. The town of Lamu began life as a 14th century Swahili settlement, but the island has seen many visitors and influences, including Portuguese explorers, Turkish traders and the Omani Arabs. All left their mark, but Lamu developed its own particular culture, which has ultimately endured.

Lamu’s narrow streets remain unchanged, and in the markets and squares around the fort life moves at the same pace as it always has. There are no vehicles on this island, and the donkey and the dhow remain the dominant form of transport. The people of Lamu are great believers in tradition and custom, and this is a strong society built on a respect for the past. For the traveller, Lamu is a hypnotically exotic experience, made even more enjoyable by the relaxed and welcoming attitudes of the locals. To visit Lamu is to enter another world, and the visitor finds themselves becoming a part of this world. Life slows down, and long days are spent strolling along the waterfront, exploring the town or relaxing on the beaches. Dhow safaris can take you beyond Lamu into the surrounding archipelago, where isolated villages, ancient ruins and a few luxurious and exclusive resorts lie hidden among the islands of Manda, Siyu, Pate and Kiwayu. This idyllic island speaks to the heart and soul, and a trip to Lamu is a romantic experience that can become a lifelong affair.

Shela, Isola di Lamu, mille passi sulla spiaggia. Il mare è la risposta alla mancanza. Una presenza ora vicina, ora lontana ma che resta. Un luogo in cui raccogliere ricordi o, finalmente, lasciarli andare. Si può camminare all'infinito muovendosi in direzioni contrarie senza sentirsi persi. C'è abbastanza spazio per ogni dimensione. #shela #lamu #lamuisland #kenya #igerskenya #igkenya #africa #igersafrica #igafrica #beach #sunset #indianocean #sea #seaside #kenyadiary (at Shela, Lamu Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZdXDbn0Fc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17gwzj9vmw42a

journey /photo - Lamu island, Kenya - 1998   - The tropical island of Lamu in Kenya. Early in the mornig. I was also impressed by a fashion model who I coincidentally met during my back-packer trip in Asia, which motivated me to try and become a fashion designer for clothes to be worn by people with such ambience.
