Lamu, a preserved Swahili settlement, is Kenya’s oldest continuously inhabited town. Once a hub for poetry, politics, and arts and crafts, it’s now a hubbub of trade, mosques and even a donkey sanctuary. Sunrises and sunsets are not to be missed, as the town becomes baked in rays of oranges, pinks and purples. It is a treasure trove of rooftop restaurants, friendly residents and sunny seascapes.
