about a 15 minute boat ride south of lamu town is the village of shela. it has a totally different vibe than lamu, as many of the homes are owned by wealthy elites from outside kenya. mick jagger owns a home here, which prompted other ultra-rich to do the same. the narrow alleys, in contrast to lamu town, are empty and clean. across the straight is an opulent resort called the majlis, which we also walked around for a bit while our boat driver took care of some business. shela is nice to walk around for a few hours, but i’d say lamu is the place to be.
