Kenya's Oldest Town With The Most Beautiful Island Lamu Tamu

[@KemuntoBear]

Lamu is enchanting,definitely the most beautiful serene place I have ever visited will recommend it to anyone

[@AfrikanTraveller]

It's so beautiful, I now understand why you fell in love with everything from Lamu

[@ladysafari01]

Enchanting is the word...

[@raymondongus1404]

Absolutely true. I remember my visit with nostalgia.

[@AmuRa606]

Thankyou I love my home born and raised I’m currently in Philadelphia ❤❤

[@joshmuuo]

You know the feeling you get when you discover your favorite food? That's what my experience was shooting this project , I couldn't have enough of the drone shots I kept shooting ,blue skies , blue waters ,good vibes . Not hitting the like button would be an injustice to this video 😁 cheers guys

[@AfrikanTraveller]

When you come back you should, it's a must visit place with lots of history.

Karibu Lamu I’m born and raised there currently in Philadelphia inshaAllah maybe this summer I need to go Lamu is calling Come to Lamu atleast one time it’s so magnetic

[@Ben-gq4xb]

..this is THE BEST tour of Lamu i have found here - thank you! SO GOOD! We need more African content by real Africans - fantastic video - thanks again - big love from Melbourne :)

[@ixoratv9654]

Never too much

[@lyyyyyyy365]

As usual another breath taking video.u and wodemaya inspired me so much to start a utube channel. My channel is still in its infancy state.i don't know anything about utube.but u inspired me because india is also very negatively stereotyped by the media like Africa. I have been asked weird questions about india when traveling abroad. U and wodemaya showed me the real Africa

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Wow! We need to change our own Narrative that has been destroyed for centuries.

[@alexchui3511]

It's a movie. This was a well done video, historical journey, sights, sounds, drone shots, editing. Good job!

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Thanks for appreciating.

[@adamlavin1606]

The drone shots are dope. Especially the floating restaurant and the ocean shots are just on another level. Keep up the great work 👍🏽. Watching from DXB.

[@sleuth7]

Was in Lamu two weeks ago. Flew in by skyward airline. Sailed from Airport Manda island to Lamu town, then to Mokowe jetty. Toured Hindi town and Mpeketoni. A wonderful trip I would recommend to wanderlust peeps!

[@discounthub1401]

The videography here is very good. Very good. I think the ministry of tourism in Kenya needs to start paying these youtubers (they're doing more for tourism than any government official out there is doing) If they go back to Lamu, I think it would be interesting to hear the stories of the people in Mpeketoni that survived the alshabab attack (Mpeketoni itself has an interesting history -- Kenyatta resettled lots of Kikuyu's there in the 60's and 70's) and that created some tense situations with the locals and I believe it was one of the reasons why it was picked by alshabab for their attack.

[@mugambikarugu843]

do they really care....leo wanataka kujua maombi ya ruto na raila ni gani inaweza kuliko ya mwingine!

[@RB3565]

There is a grave need to reevaluate the tourism industry in Kenya.

[@aliciafields-worldtravelle8248]

Thanks AT, you keep getting better, Lamu was never on my bucket list but thanks to you it now is💪🏽👏

[@AfrikanTraveller]

You should have it on your bucket list.

[@FitMama254]

After watching three of your videos. All I can say is You are the most underrated Kenyan KZbinr. Your content is TOPS!!! The drone shots, the tone of the music, your narrations are so good. Keep up the good work.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

When you do my kind of content, it's timeless. If the current Generation will not appreciate the future will. Am in no hurry ☺️

[@erickmeshac3135]

@@AfrikanTraveller you're right, you'll flourish spectacularly

[@donaldpaul4733]

You are 💯% correct! African Traveler is the best videographer; his contents and his skill with the camera and the drone is very advanced; its like a documentary film. If I didn’t know that he’s a KZbinr, I would think he’s an established video journalist. I’ve just finished binge watching his videos. Y’all please support this brother’s work, he’s very much underrated even though he’s a far much better with his camera shots and videos than most of the other African Influencer.

[@corretnganga3873]

😍❤.... 'and then he created Kenya' Watu wetu, make sure you watch all the ads to keep these guys going. They are doing a magnificent job.

[@KKG3388]

Ah man my favourite town in Kenya! The people, the culture, the food, the history. Walking through the town feels like a walk through the museum, if you ever get a chance to visit Kenya, Lamu should be on your itinerary! this place is a treasure and should be protected at all costs! When we can travel again I will be on that flight to +254! Loving the channel man! Keep showing the positive beauty of Kenya and it's people! Ah yes the Dhow sunset cruise magical! I will definitely book in with the Swahili elder stateman Mr Omari! Mwambie atupatie number yake ya WhatsApp so we can hook him up when we're in Lamu Tamu! Wacha Kenya yetu ipande majuu kabisa Asante sana! 👊🏿

Lamu is quite expensive especially on accommodation. I have been there three times and I could not afford to stay for more than three days. That is downside of tourism in in Kenya take loads of money.

'Jambojet disrupts Lamu route with low prices' - The Star reports "Jambojet has announced plans to begin operations from Nairobi to Lamu via Mombasa four times weekly, starting September 15 bringing competition to the route which continues to record increased traffic. The Island has become a beehive of activities since operations at the new port started, with jobs for port officials, KRA, banks, clearing and forwarding firms, shipping companies, and a number of other state agencies setting base in Lamu. A one-way Nairobi-Lamu ticket on Jambojet will go for as low as Sh7,100 and a Return ticket 14,200. Skyward Express is currently flying at Sh7,950 O/W and Safarilink that has been operating on the Nairobi-Lamu route since 2004 will charge Sh19,900, on a return ticket on the route on September 15. Passengers flying from Mombasa to Lamu, the Jambojet spokesman said will pay Sh4,600 on a one-way ticket.
