The history buff in me enjoys peering into the past and a visit to Takwa Ruins of Lamu Island served an interesting insights into the history of coastal Kenya.
From our Shela area abode in Lamu, we took a 30-minute boat ride to Manda Island, over calm waters in mangrove-lined channels. The ruins are located in the south-eastern region of Manda, the largest of the Lamu islands.
