Lamu is a town in Coastal Kenya. Its old town is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Lamu is vastly different from most cities in Kenya, most particularly due to the small number of motor vehicles and corresponding traffic. Culturally, Lamu also differs from interior of the country as it has retained its historic character as the oldest continually inhabited town in the country and one of the most important Swahili settlements.
