Now. Now we're talking. Lamu island. I fall in love - like passionate love - with places ever so rarely. Lamu island captured my heart and kept it. Ignore the nonsense about it being unsafe - that advice refers to the mainland county that goes by the same name ("Lamu") but the island? Oh my goodness. This is the UNESCO listed, oldest living Swahili town in the world. It is like stepping back in time. Make the time to visit and you will not be disappointed. #mustdo #mustvisit #lamu #lamuisland #kenya #kenyancoast #swahili #swahilicoast #culture #town #island #fort #history #architecture
