Lamu Island Tour Package (KTS- 03)

Lamu, Town, Island and Archipelago, all of the same name, lie 2 degrees below the Equator on Kenya's northern coast. The archipelago is a chain of Islands separated from the mainland by a narrow channel bordered with dense mangrove forest and protected from the Indian Ocean by coral reefs and large sand dunes. The island has been a port of varying importance for thousands of years, in the 2nd century, the Greeks knew of this coast and called it Azania and later, in the 9th and 10th centuries Arab and Persian traders and settlers called it Bilad-al-Zenj. Their small settlements grew into fiercely independent city-states, which brought forth a distinct Arab-African culture called Swahili

A thousand years of trade, settlement and Islamic expansion has resulted in the people of Lamu being devout followers of Islam and the town is a place of religious pilgrimage where Muslims from all over eastern Africa gather every year to celebrate Maulidi, the Prophet's birthday. Lamu is remote even by Kenyan standards. There are no cars on the island and a way of life from and earlier age is still intact.

A short boat ride from the town of Lamu is Peponi, a small hotel established in 1967 by the Korschen family, who still run it today. The hotel is a collection of small buildings scattered through gardens and following the line of the coast. Small and personal, it is the perfect rest after a safari or a hide away holiday from modern life.

Day 1 - Nairobi to Lamu, Peponi Hotel

Depart Nairobi Airport on your scheduled flight to Lamu, flying time is approximately 1hr 45mins. On arrival you will be met, your luggage collected and you walk the short distance to the airport's own jetty. From here it is a lovely 20 minute boat ride to Peponi Hotel.

Days 2 to 4 - Peponi Hotel

For the active there are plenty of water sports, for the more relaxed there are quiet places in the hotel grounds, by the pool or on the verandah of your room. Meals served in the waterside restaurant are delicious, particularly the seafood which comes fresh from the waters around the island.
