estling
against the beautiful, unspoilt Indian Ocean coast of northern Kenya,
Lamu Island is one of the most beguiling
places on earth. Little changed in centuries, Lamu has long been
renowned for the warmth of its welcome to visitors, its remoteness
and tranquility, its rich and colourful maritime trading history and
its distinctive Swahili culture – a unique amalgam of African,
Arabian, Indian and European influences.
nchanting Lamu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the oldest
living town south of the Sahara and the best-preserved coastal
settlement in East Africa. One of Lamu’s many glories is
its Traditional Swahili Architecture. Lamu’s unique stone
townhouses, many dating back to the early 18th Century, are
celebrated for their intricately carved wooden front doors, imposing
entrance porches and shady courtyards, the grandeur and elegance
of their interiors and their beautiful decorative stucco
plasterwork.
