Introduction.

Lamu - a town, island, archipelago and a trip back in time... This fascinating island is a snapshot of centuries past: a coveted trading outpost for over 2000 years.

Of swahili origin, Lamu emerged as a vital trading port where for centuries vessels, borne on the trade winds, ventured from the Moddle East and Arabia to the Horn of Africa, trading ivory and spices.

Today this enigmatic town is largely unchanged: gradually yielding its secrets as you twist and turn along the streets, glimpsing lush inner courtyards and fountains through ancient carved doors.

After intense experiment of Lamu, chill out at Kipungani - a delightful hideway with the country's longest undeveloped beach: where the only rule is....relax.

From here we set to sail in a luxuriously outfitted, traditional dhow, following in the wake of Arab sailors plying the spice route as in centuries past. We explore this magical archipelago, safe in hands of an experienced crew, swimming, snerkeling and sunbathing in remote coves and bays.

Whether under sail or powered by motor, the Dhow cruises majestically in the deep azure waters of the Indian Ocean. From time to time we drop to snorkel, watch Dolphins, Sea Turtles and amazing shaols of fish in the rifts of Kiunga Marine National Park.
