Day 01: Nairobi to Lamu
At 1300 hrs, check in at Wilson Airport for your flight to Lamu departing at 1400 hrs. You will be met at the Lamu Airport on Manda Island upon arrival (1510 hrs) and by boat, you will be transferred to your hotel on Lamu Island. Your afternoon is spent appreciating the sights and sounds of Lamu Island : located off the coast of Kenya, Lamu is the perfect example of a tropical archipelago. Overnight stay at Jannat House where you are booked on bed and breakfast

Day 02: Lamu
A full day in Lamu - you can explore the town, or relax at the beach: One of the things that strike you when you enter Lamu is the absence of vehicles along the streets. This is because Lamu streets are never much more than eight feet wide. This design is for a good reason; the proximity of the stone walls blocks the sun rays thus cooling the air around the streets. Interestingly, life in Lamu is lived at its own pace that never exceeds the speed of a sailing dhow. And because life outside Lamu is usually fast-paced, almost all visitors get fascinated with this magical island to the point of an addiction. As a result Lamu sees many return visitors throughout the year.
