I have been coming to Lamu, Kenya for the two years visiting and renting homes in July-August and December-January. Lamu is a town, an island and an archipelago on the Kenyan coast; (East Africa) located just 2 degrees south of the equator. Last August when I was there, I found a shamba (farm) that I wanted to buy behind the town of Lamu-, which is a very old town of Swahili, and Arabian people that haven’t changed much for 2000 years. There are no cars; the mode of transport is donkeys, walking, or boats to get around from one side of the island to another.
