Lamu Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the beating heart of Kenya’s Swahili heritage. With its narrow alleyways, ancient architecture, and centuries of cultural exchange, Lamu is less a destination and more a journey back in time. With Alkebulan Travel and Tours, you’ll discover a unique blend of history, culture, and coastal beauty. Lamu Town is car-free, where donkeys and dhows remain the main modes of transport. Its winding streets reveal intricately carved doors, bustling markets, and mosques echoing with centuries of devotion. The Lamu Museum and Lamu Fort showcase the island’s layered past, while the annual Lamu Cultural Festival celebrates Swahili traditions through poetry, dhow races, and local artistry. Beyond its cultural treasures, Lamu offers pristine beaches such as Shela Beach, where golden sands stretch into the horizon, providing peace and seclusion. Dhow cruises at sunset reveal the island’s tranquil charm, while trips to nearby Manda Island allow for even more exploration. Lamu with Alkebulan is an immersive cultural retreat you’ll never forget.
