Fun Festivals!



On the island of Lamu you can escape to an old town made of stone and feel at peace. The town has traditional architecture with narrow streets, curved doors, and many mosques. You can escape to this paradise at feel totally at peace, that is if you go when there isnt a donkey racing festival going on. It is a time when all of the people join together and race their donkeys. Every May the old town hold the Dugong Lamu Festival and it is very popular. It lasts about a week and during that time everything is fun. Donkeys are a main type of transportation on the island so there are a lot of them. People come from all over to witness this crazy yet fun festival.
