East Africa's oldest living Swahili town — no cars, just dhows and donkeys.
Lamu Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest continuously inhabited Swahili settlement in East Africa. There are no cars on the island — people get around on foot, by donkey, or by traditional dhow sailboat. Narrow coral-stone streets, centuries-old architecture, and a laid-back island pace make it one of Kenya's most distinctive destinations.
