Location: Located on the northern coast of Kenya, separated from the mainland by a narrow strait.
The cultural highlight is Lamu Town, a majestic medieval trading hub that preserves distinctive Swahili architectural features. Along the islands lie stunning beaches, including Sera Beach—a 10-kilometer stretch of glittering white sand just a 40-minute walk from Lamu Town. Visitors can even find locals selling homemade Samosa (a traditional Portuguese-style snack) and other local delicacies right on the shore.
Accommodation: There are some local inns and hotels that allow tourists to experience the rich Swahili culture.
Transportation: You can first reach Mombasa and then travel to the Lamu Islands by land and water.
