Lamu is the real Swahili Coast. The atmosphère is authentic.
Lamu is the real Swahili Coast. The atmosphère is authentic. With everyone on foot because there are no cars the sense of community is very strong. Architectural style of the village has been well maintained. There are good local eateries, and the peponi restaurant in Shella village is outstanding. We went everywhere by water taxi. Charming!

Went to celebrate my birthday and it was my first time in Lamu. A simple request to shiban house to make it feel special, ended up being the best birthday surprise ever...Sada thank you, my heart is overwhelmed by how you managed to surprise me 😊. Joseph took excellent care of us and was ready to help us around. I must say, I feel fulfilled even as I have turned a year younger 😂😊😂. Thank you mapenzi too for the awesome breakfast we got every day.
Shela is the best place to be in lamu. You can access lamu town easily and learn so much about the history of it, ask for the best knowledgeable guy there called 'sunshine' locally. Its near peponi hostel and majlis resort.
Make a point of doing the sunset cruise 😊 . Definately 10/10.

I liked that Lamu is a small town, easy to walk about and no pollution say for donkey dung.
There are many eateries with all kinds of meals, loved the seafood restaurants near the jetty.
Lamu is safe for travellers and the community is very welcoming.
Easy to get around either by speed boat, dhow or slow engine boats if not in a rush.
The weather is warm and windy especially in the evening. People prefer to walk about and sit around the seafront at night where there is good ocean breeze before retiring for bed.
Fishing is a great recreation activity which we all enjoyed while in Lamu.

Lamu is a small conservative town rich in culture with very friendly people. I like that most restaurants are at the beachfront and I can recommend a few with what they offer:
1. Forodhani Lamu- for local cuisine like pilau, biriyani etc. It was the most affordable.
2. Sailors Joint- for shawarma, pizza and sea food. I went here almost everyday for their shawarma, so so flavorful.
3. Bush Gardens Sea food restaurant- for seafood especially. Had the best fresh mango juice.
4. Rangarelli Cafe- in Shela has the best local food there
5. Gelamu- for gelato ice-cream, this is in Shela.
