A 4-Day, 3-Night Coastal Escape, Lamu

Get ready to embark on an unforgettable 4-day, 3-night coastal escape to the enchanting Lamu Island. Your journey begins in the morning with a scenic flight from Nairobi to Lamu. Upon arrival at Manda Airport, a traditional boat transfer will whisk you across the turquoise waters to your cozy villa, where you’ll receive a warm coastal welcome. After settling in, take time to relax by the beach or pool, and later enjoy a delicious dinner served at the villa as you prepare for the adventure ahead.

On Day 2, after a hearty breakfast, immerse yourself in the rich Swahili heritage with a guided tour of Lamu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll walk through narrow winding alleys, admire ancient Swahili architecture, and visit key landmarks like Lamu Fort and the local museums. This is your chance to learn about the island’s history, culture, and way of life. In the afternoon, enjoy some leisure time to shop for handmade crafts, explore the seafront, or simply unwind before returning to the villa for dinner and another peaceful overnight stay.

Day 3 is all about relaxation and ocean bliss. After breakfast, the day is yours to enjoy as you wish—take a dip in the pool, stroll along the beach, or choose optional activities like snorkeling or local excursions (at your own cost). In the late afternoon, gather for a magical sunset dhow cruise, sailing on a traditional wooden boat as the sun melts into the horizon. The calm waters, ocean breeze, and vibrant skies offer the perfect setting to unwind. You’ll return to the villa in the evening for a final dinner with new friends.

On Day 4, wake up early for a quiet sunrise walk or one last swim before enjoying breakfast. After check-out, you’ll take your boat transfer back to Manda Airport for your return flight to Nairobi. As you land back home, you’ll carry with you cherished memories of the sea, culture, and serenity of Lamu—a perfect coastal adventure curated by Gathirimu Ventures.
