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

Absolutely true. I remember my visit with nostalgia.

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

[@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.

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

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!

[@raymondfarlow6059]

'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.

[@KemuntoBear]

I have flown with Skyward several times and their flight as always been 6999KES One way I have never paid more or maybe cause I book on Tuesdays

[@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!

[@mohammedkadhi8648]

Great coverage. It would have been really good to give us a rough estimate cost for a trip to Lamu Island. Accommodation, tour guide, food, boat rides etc, so one can budget for a trip there. All the same, you have given us an excellent introduction to the island. Asante.

[@jackmuraguri1836]

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.
