Experience life in Lamu village, one of the oldest settlements in Africa. Here a diverse culture grew out of trade in spices, slaves and religion. The coral walls and streets are only navigable by donkey, foot or bicycle and the islands only car is owned by the district governor. Swahili women, dressed in black buibuis, their hands painted with henna, sometimes can be heard singing behind shuttered windows as you wander the streets of this enchanting town.
