LAMU SURPRISED US! | The side of Lamu, Kenya we've NEVER experienced before

- Lamu is one of the longest established Swahili settlements in east Africa that remains today and has been continually inhabited for more than seven hundred years. The island has also built a reputation as a hideaway for the wealthy, and has become very popular with tourists who want to experience the traditional Swahili culture and luxurious villas that it offers.
We've visited Lamu several times before, but this time we had the opportunity to stay on neighbouring Manda island which offers a completely different experience than the typical "Lamu experience".
Sunsets, beachfront properties, tranquility and wildlife are all things that Manda island offers and we were surprised to see how contrasting it is from the nearby Lamu island, and Syngue Sabour cottage is like no other property we've ever stayed!

Brings back so many memories. When I as 15-17 years old in the late 70's and 80's a group of us friends from school use to take the country bus from Malindi to Lamu. It would take hours due to all the stopping to pick up other people, goats, chickens along the way. It was so hot and dusty due to the dirt road. We would stay at a hotel in the middle of town and I would remember how loud it was with people talking and the donkeys moving on the old streets. Then around midnight it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The food was amazing and the people so friendly. On the way back to Malindi we would take the night bus which would leave around 11 pm and get us back to Malindi around 6 am. Only one stop at a duka half way to use the restroom. Fun times. Nothing fancy just living life as the local Kenyans. Experience I am blessed to have.
This sounds magical 🙌
Unfortunately now road travel is not advised, but we would love to do it 😊
Nice one at the mangroves. Epic movie shot right there 👏👏
@Adam, great meeting you today on the train to Mombasa. Where next?
Thank you 🙏
It was nice to meet you as well. Thanks for saying hi 🙂
Happy Belated Birthday 🎉🎂 To Ina.. Nice Video Of Your Getaway Vacation Island 🏝️ Escape.
Thank you! 🤗
Happy Birthday Week Ina!
Seeing what an exemplary example Kenya has set, so disheartening to see so many other African countries fail to create a similar tourist enclave like neighboring Somalia and Mozambique.
Would love to catch Adam putting down a coaster under his coffee in the morning.
Thank you 😊
Coasters were a must in this place ❤️
Ina means ‘name’ in Kiswahili or you can say ‘jina’

Vlogging has come with a lot of benefits in terms of exposure. Most Kenyans have not travelled the country to know these places but with these vlogs, many of them now know that such places exist and good for visit. Nice vlog guys.
Thank you 🙂
We hope one day more Kenyans have the abaility/means to travel to these places 🙏
👌👍

I have watched your videos ever since you came to Kenya and you have really improved your videography. This was an amazing video to watch and I have been to Lamu several times. Happy belated birthday Ina.
I have one question: How did you achieve that shot of Malia on the beach that shows Peponi clearly in the background right before Adam started chasing her?
Thank you 😊
I'm not 100% sure on the shot you mean, I'll have to rewatch and come back to you
