Sunset Dhow Cruise in Lamu: The Ultimate Archipelago Experience
Gliding silently under billowed canvas sails as the sun sinks in fiery crimson tones behind the mangrove forests is the quintessential Lamu experience.
How a Traditional Dhow Sails
Local captains maneuver triangular lateen sails with astonishing grace, catching the late afternoon sea breeze without the sound or smell of noisy diesel boat motors.
Sailing Routes: Manda Channel & Mangrove Swamps
The boat glides along the deep channel separating Lamu and Manda islands, weaving past quiet mangrove bays where herons, kingfishers, and fish eagles roost for the night.
Sunset Drinks and Swahili Bites Onboard
TripBambika dhow cruises include freshly fried Swahili vegetable and beef samosas, sweet dates, and tropical passion fruit juices served on comfortable cushion-lined decks.
