Some friends referred me to a travel agent, but I was hesitant. How do I trust an agent with zero presence on social media? He’s old school, they said.<\/p>\n

I visited his office, in the Nairobi CBD. He seemed quite elderly, but with the infectious enthusiasm of a young man nursing the first strands of his beard.<\/p>\n

At first glance, you’d dismiss him as a mere hustler riding bareback on a reputation straddling ‘Three Decades of Experience<\/em>‘. He didn’t even have a secretary, after all.<\/p>\n

Boy, wasn’t I wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A few minutes in, I realized the reputation is solid.\u00a0 Three decades worth of experience in the travel industry meant he probably had every back road, thicket and Baobab tree etched somewhere in his mind.<\/p>\n

I’d mention a random destination in Kenya; the old man would start rattling off facts. Think of Wikipedia in a pinstriped suit and orange bow tie. I said I’ve always wanted to visit Lamu.<\/p>\n

Aaaah, Lamu.<\/p>\n

The old man paused, leaned back in his seat. He swiveled a little.<\/p>\n

It’s not a young people thing – even elderly men in swivel seats like to swivel. Its clear Lamu is one of his favorites. But, I didn’t want him to start rattling off facts.<\/p>\n

I’d been saving heavily, spending weekends indoors – agonizingly broke with nothing to do but read about Lamu. I wanted to lead this pitch.<\/p>\n

“I want to visit Lamu, sir, but I’m an equinophobe”. I said.<\/p>\n

“A what?”<\/p>\n

The old man leaned forward, elbows on his desk. If he had glasses – it’s at this point that he’d take them off and absently rub them with a soft cloth. He didn’t. Suddenly his hands didn’t have a thing to do.<\/p>\n

In three decades, no one had him in a tight intellectual corner.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what that is…”. He’s wise, better to admit than fumble through.<\/p>\n

“I fear donkeys – and, I’ve heard Lamu is literally Donkey Island.”<\/p>\n

He smiles warmly. He’s back in the picture. Like he never left.<\/p>\n

“No! No! There are people in Lamu, too!” He says, bursting in laughter.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t kidding. When I was little, I saw a donkey kick the lights out of a man at the market. Since, I’ve had recurrent nightmares.<\/p>\n

Plus donkeys pack a nasty bite if you play idiotic games with them. Or, near them. Donkeys don’t like idiots.<\/p>\n

As it is, Lamu Town is known for her ridiculously narrow streets – perhaps, four or five feet wide – with high walls on either side. The streets are always in shadow, and cool.<\/p>\n

In every ten pedestrians on these streets, seven are donkeys. Or, on donkeys.<\/p>\n

There are no vehicles on the island, which I think is surreally romantic – till I learnt that all transport is via donkeys and donkey carts.<\/p>\n

“If you meet a donkey in the narrow streets, just flatten yourself against a wall. It won’t hurt.”<\/p>\n

“What if he bites?”<\/p>\n

“He won’t bite if you don’t. Don’t carry a carrot in your hand”. The old man was teasing.<\/p>\n

I felt small. A grown African man living in fear of donkeys; while other men keep pythons as pets. I had to face this. To kill the teasing, I ask him what else makes Lamu tick.<\/p>\n

Aaaah, Lamu. Again.<\/p>\n

Old man re-schools me on Lamu. Ignore the little that comes up online.<\/p>\n

Lamu town is the headquarters of Lamu District – inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 2001 for her unique Swahili traditional architectural vibes.<\/p>\n

Lamu is Lamu – but, there’s more.<\/p>\n

There’s Lamu Archipelago – a small group of Island situated on Kenya\u00b4s Northen Coast line. This is made up of Lamu, Manda, Pate and Kiwayu islands.<\/p>\n

If you don’t like donkeys, my old friend says – can catch a boat and explore the islands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It’s enticing – imagine a conversation with an 80-yr-old who’s spent their entire life on an island – no cars, no electricity or WiFi.<\/p>\n

I can use a day skimming across the Must See’s: Lamu Museum, Lamu Fort, German Post Office and Siyu Fort. Then, I can try the islands – especially Pate.<\/p>\n

Pate Island is a lobster stronghold. If you didn’t know, lobster is best known as a vitality booster. Now you know.<\/p>\n

More luck, is that Lamu holds lots of cultural festivals. The biggest is the Maulidi Festival, thronged by Muslims from around East Africa.<\/p>\n

It’s iconic, with entertaining events such as dhow races, a donkey race, bao games, henna painting, kofia making, swimming competitions and a football match organized by the locals.<\/p>\n

A donkey race? Yaani<\/em>, people risk bites and kicks to race donkeys! I need to travel, and see Lamu.<\/p>\n

I’ve been saving for a vacation at the end of the year, but something rare caught my eye and changed plans.<\/p>\n

I bumped into an amazing off-season travel deal between Magical Kenya, Jambojet and Hotels across the Kenyan Coast, Rift Valley and Lakeside region.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a vacation deal covering flight and accommodation costs. It takes advantage of low off-season traffic to offer a soft financial landing for travel enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

P.S: I’ll be walking around Lamu with nothing on. Ok, just a Kikoi wrapper. Just about time, I hate jeans!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
