Historical Pate Island
Lamu- a town, island, archipel- ago and a trip back in time. lt is the last remaining bastion of the Shirazi- the oldest of the cultures at the coast. This magical town carries on just as it has for centuries past with its ancient architecture, intricate carved plasterwork, mosques and a very fine museum. Lamu still retains an air of slumbering mystery. Shela beach is a virtually endless stretch of rolling sand dunes and it is here that most of Lamu's hotels are situated. Pate lsland is hours away from Lamu by boat where one can see the ancient ruined towns of Faza and Siyu. This impressive island has to be explored entirely on foot. Manda lsland has wonderful beaches to where elephants have been known to swim across from the mainland occasionally. A wonderful underwater paradise awaits along the reefs in the Kunga Marine National Park and there's a remote hideaway on Kismayuu-f or those who dream of deserted tropical islands in the sun. We appeal for your donation for our charity
