Karibu Lamuโ€” Welcome to Lamu! ๐Ÿ“ธ @doseoftrave Karibu Lamuโ€” Welcome to Lamu! ๐Ÿ“ธ @doseoftravel โ € โ€œThis is what I mean when the island transports you back in time. This predominantly Muslim island has around 50,000 people and 6,000 donkeys. You canโ€™t walk around the old town without sharing the road with donkeys (& their ๐Ÿ’ฉ).โ € โ € If youโ€™ve heard of Zanzibar, Iโ€™d say Lamu is the smaller, quieter, and more raw version of it. You wonโ€™t find hoards of travelersโ€ฆ just yet. โ € โ € Walking these tiny, narrow streets, youโ€™ll be greeted with warm smiles and inquisitive looks. Youโ€™ll hear Mambo to which you can reply Poa as their local greeting. Five times a day, youโ€™ll hear the Adhaan or call to prayer throughout the island. โ € โ € Simply walking through the island and interacting with the locals is the best. Once you hit the fort, grab a seat and people watch. Going shopping for the artwork, furniture, and jewelry is a good idea. Stop for some seafood like a Red Snapper or load up on some carbs with chapatis, biryani, or pilau. If youโ€™re looking for a snack, maybe samosas will do.โ € โ € If youโ€™re wondering why I listed Indian food itโ€™s because thereโ€™s a huge influence of Indian cuisine on the coast and throughout the rest of Kenya.โ € โ € Iโ€™m so happy places like this still existโ€ . . . #Lamu #thisiskenya #Kenya #Nairobi #bucketlist #unescoworldheritage #travelvlog #muslimtravel #muslimtraveler #travelafrica #beautifuldestinations #travelbucketlist #magicalkenya #magicalkenya๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช #travelgram #travelafrique โ €

โ€œA morning to remember. Riding out the bumps tha โ€œA morning to remember. Riding out the bumps that were carved into the dusty trails of @mugieconservancy from the tyres before us an seasonal rains, we drove into the sunrise. A gentle warm glow illuminated the horizon, seeping through the long sun-bleached grasses before us. Jacob, our guide, received a call and immediately we made a 180, back to the other side of the conservancy. A cheetah siting. We had to travel around 15km to make it, but when we arrived, Zuri was still there. Lazing in the early morning light, his spots contrasted against the dried earth of the termite mound he laid on. The next hour was ours. Just Otis, me, our guide Jacob, and Zuri. Thatโ€™s the really special thing about Mugie Conservancy. Youโ€™re almost always the only ones there.โ€ ๐Ÿ“ธ pc: @bonnejournal #governorscampcollection #mugieconservancy #kenyasafari #discoveringkenya #StillATraveler #wearetravelers #BBCtravel #departuresmag #fodorsonthego #culturetrip #TLpicks #bbcwildlife #earthfocus #chasinglight #natgeoyourshot #suitcasetravels #canoncollective #canonuk #canonaustralia #yourshotphotographer #stbigshot #IAmATraveler #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #laikipia

Photocredit ๐Ÿ“ธ @pamelamartinezphotography . . . Photocredit ๐Ÿ“ธ @pamelamartinezphotography . . . Learning is a strong reason why people love to travel. ย They want to experience something unfamiliar and leave with new skills or knowledge. Seeing the world is more educational than any high school or college class. This condensed crash course in discovering how the rest of the world lives actually will cover subjects like history, geography and sociology. Every destination has something unique to teach visitors, and immersing themselves in a completely different world is the best learning experience. #traveladdict #kenya๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช @giraffe.manor @giraffemanorhotel . #traveladdicted #giraffes #jirafas #teagiraffecrossing #makingmemories #seeingtheworld #discoveringkenya #nairobi #giraffemanor #travelphotography #travellermom #travelguide #besthotelsintheworld #besthotel #bestplacestogo #bestvacations #girltraveler #familytravel #familytraveler #lovetravel #nationalgeographic #travellerlife #africaadventure #giraffemanor #giraffesofinstagram #travelmore #travelmagazine #travelmagazines
