2 Days 1 Night Lamu Island Flying Holiday

2 Days 1 Night Lamu Island flying Holiday from Nairobi is a short flying vacation to Lamu Island, located off the northern coastline of Kenya.

Explore the narrow streets of Lamu Town, visit the museum and 17th-century fort, enjoy Lamu’s idyllic sandy beaches, visit Shela Village, explore the Lamu archipelago by dhow, or chill out and relax.

Lamu town on Lamu Island is best reached by air, either directly from Nairobi, Mombasa, or Malindi. Manda Airport is on an island opposite the main village, so you’ll need a short boat/ferry ride.

Once here, there is no need for transport (other than boats), as everything is a stone’s throw away, and the winding pathways are only just wide enough to walk down.

Endless activities are available on Lamu Island. The main activities and attractions in Lamu Island, Kenya, center around its rich Swahili culture, car-free sandy streets, and the surrounding Indian Ocean.
