How Lamu looks as a map poster
Lamu lies 341 kilometres by road northeast of Mombasa, where the road ends at Mokowe Jetty. From there, travelers cross a sea channel to reach the island town.
Narrow lanes pack the old settlement against the waterfront, with few routes wide enough for vehicles. The surrounding channel gives the small street pattern a sharp outer boundary.
Area shown on your Lamu poster
A 1.5 kilometre frame fits the historic town, its waterfront, and the channel around this part of Lamu Island. The fine lanes occupy only a small portion of the surrounding coastal space.
Draw the old lanes in coral-stone beige and leave the sea channel completely blank. A dark outline at the waterfront is enough to define the town's small footprint.
