Masimba Hills Safaris

LAMU ISLAND is a town, an island and an archipelago in Kenya. If you visit, you should try to visit all three. The archipelago is a chain of seven islands and a multitude of islets, separated from the mainland at its narrowest part by a channel just a few meters wide. Dense mangrove forests fringe the mainland and the inland sides of the islands, while the seaward sides are protected by reefs and lined with dunes. Throughout the archipelago, there are numerous historical sites; visible and tangible evidence of ten centuries of a colorful, and often rich cultural past.

The largest of the islands include Lamu, Manda, Pate and Kiwayu, each offering a peaceful retreat with endless beaches and crystal clear waters. Lamu Island is known for having the oldest living Swahili town, with many of the narrow streets remaining unchanged.
