Lamu Town is located on Lamu Island and is Kenya's oldest continually inhabited town.
It is a part of the Lamu Archipelago in Kenya along the Indian Ocean.
It was one of the original Swahili settlements along coastal East Africa and is believed to have been established in 1370.
Today, the majority of Lamu's population is Muslim and the town is a series of narrow streets and alleys which makes it feel
much more like a northern Africa town. Since the island has no motorized vehicles, transportation and other heavy work is done with the help of donkeys.
There are some 3000 donkeys on the island.
