The Secret Side of Lamu - Kenya They Don’t Show You!

Western nations warn against visiting Lamu, Kenya, claiming it’s too dangerous due to terrorism and kidnappings. The U.S. even prohibits its officials from traveling there. But after a 10-hour journey from Nairobi, I discovered a different reality—one that challenges these narratives. Lamu is a UNESCO World Heritage site with stunning Swahili-Arab architecture, rich culture, and some of the warmest people I’ve ever met. In this video, I explore the beauty of Lamu, from the historic Subira House, built 200 years ago during Omani rule, to the vibrant traditions that continue to thrive on this island. I also dive into Lamu’s complex history, including its role in the Indian Ocean trade and the lasting impact of slavery—a history that is often understated but vital to understanding its heritage. This journey reinforced a powerful lesson: Western travel warnings often deter us from discovering Africa’s true beauty, driven by narratives that don’t reflect the lived experiences of the people. Watch as I uncover the reality of Lamu—a peaceful, culturally rich destination that defies expectations.
