Day 1
  • In the morning transfer from your Hotel to the airport for the flight to Lamu.
  • The Island’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.
  • 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.
