Lamu Town is a small town on Lamu Island, which in turn is a part of the Lamu Archipelago in Kenya. It is the oldest living Swahili town in Kenya, included on the World Heritage List. The architecture of Lamu is uniquely Swahili, with its narrow streets, storied buildings, intricately carved wooden doors and numerous mosques. The Majlis beach hotel is the perfect base to explore the beauty of Lamu island.
