the historical town of Lamu. Lamu has a rich and
colourful history. The town was one of the original

town through the turbulent Portuguese invasions
and later the Omani domination of the 17th century.

in cultural activities associated with this Swahili
people and the Islamic beliefs. Most buildings date

for the walls, wooden floors supported by mangrove
poles, makuti roofs, and intricately carved shutters
for windows. The villages of Shela and Matondoni,
Lamu Fort, the Swahili House Museum, and the Donkey
Sanctuary are part of the programme.
