Destination
Lamu
No cars here, donkeys and dhows still run the errands on this UNESCO-listed island, and that alone tells you what kind of place it is. Stone Town's alleys wind past centuries-old Swahili architecture, carved doors telling stories in wood. Sailing a dhow at sunset off Lamu is the kind of moment that doesn't photograph the way it feels. This is Kenya slowed all the way down.
