Lamu or Zanzibar
I'm in two minds whether to go Zanzibar or Lamu. Which one is better?
Also, any flight between Mombasa and Lamu? If yes, what about time schedule? |

Like any comparison, you could maybe have helped us by saying what would make it better for you. I loved Zanzibar, would go again; haven't been to Lamu (yet?) but would like to. Anyway, give us more of a clue and we'll be able to help more.

I personally think that Lamu is always very good for a one or two night trip between wildlife safaris. Hans-Georg Lamu is worth a visit but for me a day or two at most was sufficient. There are flights from Mombasa and Malindi, which are about half an hour`s duration. I loved Zanzibar! In Stonetown there is so much history. The buildings are wonderful plus there is a museum worth seeing. The hotels are good too. There are beach resorts as well as Stonetown. You can find plenty of information on the web.

Lamu or Zanzibar
I would pick Malindi over Lamu. You can do alot in and around Malindi.
Zanzibar would be the number one though (haven't been there and it seems more interesting) I have a friend (native Kenyan)in Mombasa, who says that Lamu isn't very safe at the moment.

Tashi, I can't agree to either. I find Lamu much more interesting than Malindi, and I can state that Lamu itself is safe, though the road there may not always be. I flew there in June when the roads were unpassable anyway. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

Lamu is a "different" part of the Kenya coast. It is as if time had stood still. I must admit to it not being my favourite place. When we landed on Manda by air, I then found there was no proper jetty. I was terrified scrambling over rocks and then having to go both up and down steep stone steps ! I spent my time there being scared about the return trip! Hans Georg, do you know if any improvements have been made? I know I sound like a wimp but it was scary. Also, the donkey droppings everywhere were not too pleasant. Shela is probably the best place to go. Pat -- Pat Anderson |
