Lamu, Kenya

To see discounted cruises that visit or depart from this port, use the Find a Bargain box on the left.

Lamu's culture is a mix of East African, Omani, Yemeni, Indian, Portuguese and Victorian influences, which can be seen in the Portuguese cannons on the waterfront and in the architecture of the galleries and harem rooms of the patrician Stone Houses. The heat is intense and almost shimmers at midday as it bounces off the whitewashed houses. The best way to find respite is to travel the winding streets, shaded by buildings, and explore the unique attributes of the island.

Language: English, Kiswahili
