Girt by the sea, Lamu has been spared the disruption of its society which so often follows on the impact of western influences. It adheres to its old way of life, and the town itself is much as it was centuries ago. The narrow lanes of Lamu and Shela town are unpolluted by motor vehicles, so that social life flows out from the houses into the thoroughfares, fostering that sense of community which has been so singularly lost in many towns around the world. Lamu and its surrounding islands of Manda, Kiwayu and Pate display the harmonious irregularity of coastal nature, a conjunction of varied planes and pristine beaches, which ultimately brings an intimate pleasure to the eye and the ultimate sense of beauty and relaxation. |
