Description
Located on the shores of East Africa, in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Kenya, Lamu is a town, an island, and an archipelago. There, time seems to have stopped somewhere in the XVIII or XIX century, and life is still much what it used to be at the time of the Sultanates of Pate and Zanzibar. Alternating endless beaches and mysterious mangroves, old historical buildings and untouched nature, fishing trips and BBQ, Lamu can fulfil all holidays dreams. The house is located between Lamu Town and Shela village, in a 1/4 acre secluded garden, remote and peaceful, 200 m from the sea. Wi...
