Nairobi, Mombasa, Malindi and Lamu. By land, sea or air!
Jeff,
I`ve found a link for you to check out, which includes an email contact so that you can get more information. Even if it`s not what you are looking for you can get some info. and ideas!. Good luck, Pat http://www.sailkenya.com Ok, I talked with David Beavan with www.sailkenya.com and here is our conversation. First off I had told him my situation and asked what he might recomend David Beavan If you just want to get to Lamu, the best bet is to fly from Mombasa. It is a bit difficult to cover a lot of miles north, because of the north east monsoon, so dhows rely on the sea breeze, unless you motor all day. But if you are interested in the dhow trip for itself, you can take a bus to Kilifi from Mombasa, and we can take you to Lamu in 2-3 days, as well as some the islands beyond Lamu. Mombasa harbour is not that attractive! yours david Me So would it be better to fly into Lamu and then try and sail south from there? David Beavan or sail more slowly to Lamu from Kilifi, taking in the Watamu marine nature reserve, perhaps the Tana delta. I'm going to check into the crusing comunity and see what I can find there. |
