Lamu Archipelago
Kenya
beachLamu is a living museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site where Swahili culture has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Narrow streets wind through Stone Town, donkeys replace cars, and traditional dhows glide across calm waters. The archipelago's untouched beaches, private sandbanks, and slow pace of life make it one of East Africa's most enchanting escapes.
