Top Local Tips for Lamu

Health issues Many Kenyans drank bottled water and quite a few told us to brush our teeth with bottled water. In Lamu, we were told that the Peponi was fine. However, there were many warnings about drinking water in town or at other hotels. In all honesty, we drank bottled water for the 19 months that we lived there. Also, please make sure that you bring a mosquito repellant lotion and take an anti-malarial tablet. Malaria is a serious problem on the Coast. We had a few friends who were hospitalized. With these precautions, you're just fine so please don't be afraid to go.
