Experience a timeless stay.... Lamu, located on the north coast, is 1h15 by plane from Nairobi. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is the cradle of Swahili culture. You can dream at the foot of the dunes, explore the surroundings in a dhow, these traditional small boats with triangular sails, and spend hours in the narrow streets of the old town. Polite, polite (gently in Swahili), you let yourself be carried away by the unique atmosphere of Lamu where charm, mystery and serenity compete

Here no cars, donkeys and camels, dhows and taxi boats... Soak up the atmosphere, admire the architecture, you can also visit the Fort and the Lamu Museum, the Donkey Sanctuary, or simply take the time to get lost in the alleys. Ten centuries of history are the lifeblood of this charming city

At low tide, a path along the channel leads in 45 minutes by foot to the peaceful village of Shela. Don't miss to refresh your taste buds with an excellent lime or passion fruit juice at Stop Over (the best!). Beyond Shela, facing the ocean, there is a beach several kilometres long, ideal for walking and swimming. To be combined with a half day on the island of Manda, located just opposite, famous for its ruins and baobabs. At the very least, the dhow ride, just before sunset, is an unforgettable experience.
Mando toto (the "little Manda") is located just behind the island of Manda. A day trip takes you through the mangroves to this small island of unique wild beauty. Upon arrival, a long, completely deserted beach is available to you. Relax while your boat captain prepares lunch, before spending the afternoon exploring the seabed, one of the most beautiful on the Kenyan coast. Magic
