Transferring to the airstrip after breakfast you will fly back to Nairobi this morning, to connect with an onward flight to Malindi Airport on Kenya's southeastern coast. A short drive from the airport then brings you to your boat transfer. You will travel across the Indian Ocean to Lamu Island where you will spend your final few nights enjoying the azure waters and white sand beaches of the Lamu Archipelago. A former Arab trading post, Lamu still retains something of the exotic character of its rich heritage, when the lateen-rigged dhows sailed across the Indian Ocean from India and Arabia, laden with spices. Check in at the Peponi Hotel.
Peponi Hotel is set within Shella village on Lamu Island, only two degrees south of the Equator. After the early mornings and activities of the past few days, Lamu presents the perfect place to relax and unwind. Your hotel boasts a wonderfully appointed pool, superb food and direct access to the soft sands. The coral reefs and mangrove forests of the archipelago allow for fantastic snorkelling and diving, whilst the sandy shoreline boasts turtle nesting grounds protected by the Lamu Marine Conservation Trust - discover the amazing conservation work carried out here.
There are a number of interesting villages and local markets close to the hotel, which provide ideal opportunities for some last minute mementos and souvenirs. Of course, there is still plenty of time to enjoy the facilities around the hotel and a relaxing sundowner at the bar provides the perfect way to round off a day at the beach.
If you are looking to step up the action a bit, your final day in Lamu provides an opportunity to try out some new experiences, with an excellent kite surfing school on hand and Dhow boat trips out into the dazzling waters of the Indian Ocean. Fishing is also a popular activity here. There are numerous festivals throughout the year from fishing competitions to yoga and religious festivals.
