Thanks you, finally justice served. In a two days time, Jasmine has surpassed what Kenya's Tourism ministers, Boards, conferences, miss tourisms etc failed to do for decades. Lamu deserves this kind of recognition. Well done Ama 👏👏
@JasmineAmaa yes Empress jasmine, we will absolutely, certainly and definitely give you Kenya citizenship for sure. Because you are promote and show case my beloved country 🇰🇪 yetu in very fabulous, marvelous, prodigious and stupendous way hand down
Whole of Africa. But Kenya is unique because the landmass has everything you need. From the coast to beautiful valleys, active volcanoes mountains, game parks, and great lakes, desert sands and Nairobi city.
Jamaica has a big influence in Kenya, all through high school we used to listen to Jamaican music from Di World Boss to Tommy lee...go to the ghetto and you'll find hoods called Portmore even the dancing in the clubs has been influenced by Jamaica so yeah expect your flag when you come if not the flag you definitely see someone wearing a jamaican flag armband.
Lamu is the oldest and first Swahili settlement (13th Century) on the East African Indian Ocean Coastline and the origin of the Kiswahili language. It was inhabited by Africans of Bantu descent who intermarried with traders on the coast who came from Arabia, Persia, China, Portugal and other parts of the world.
I think the Swahilis settled Unguja- the real Swahilis name for Zanziba and Lamas Island Way before 13th century. In any case when we Africans say we were the first to sail on earth to far away places, you get this Jealous insecure White European Fools making noise trying to dispute that
Lamu is the best preserved Swahili city state on the East African coast. Much better preserved than even Zanzibar. Yes, no cars or motor vehicles of any kind on Lamu Island.
❤wow Africa is blessed with so many beautiful places towns and villages rivers lakes forestry and the ocean wow this Kenya town looks ancient and historic yet thriving with it people LAMU looks so peaceful wish I was there ❤❤❤❤
Totally agree with you.. the Europeans are the major tourists in Lamu, Malindi, Kilifi, Mombasa and Diani. They leave their countries and know about these hidden gems that we are not aware of
Jasmine, now you have seen for yourself the rich cultural fusion of the East African coastline, particularly Kenyan side. You have witnessed the influence and impact of the Portuguese, Persian and Arabic culture fused in to the local tribes to create the Swahili community, culture, and heritage. You needed to venture further in to Shella island and other islands in the outcasts of Lamu, and right in your face you would have met another slightly different community falling within the Swahili community. They have typical Chinese physiology. They are descendants of survivors of a Chinese merchant ship that wrecked hundreds of years back. These survivors intermarried with locals and lived in those islands never to return to China. There are cemetery with tombs having Chinese inscriptions. That’s how culturally rich the coastline of East Africa presents
Ama my daughter! This is heaven. Kudos to your VIDEOGRAPHER. You’ve brought joy to me watching from London. Indeed Africa is God’s gift to earth man . By time we appreciate what we’ve been gifted…..❤
I spent over three years in Lamu and I can tell you it was magic❤❤❤ I used to work at the whispers cafe then I moved to kijani hotel God sooo many memories I hope you enjoy yourself too
In Kiswahili, POLE (pronounced po-le) means sorry. POLE POLE means slow (It does not mean slowly slowly). It can be used in a variety of ways to mean "take it easy" or "slow down" or "relax".

Queen, You are living your life like it's Golden 🤩 I am sooo proud of you.!!! Traveling the world by yourself. Taking us places we may never see. Thank you Queen. Stay Blessed 😊 PeAcE
Yes! Lamu is a whole new experience! Nowhere like it! I am amazed at how I wait to watch your videos Jasmine. So interesting seeing my country through your eyes! Keep up the good work gal! Bravo!💪🏾
Wow❤, Jasmine you've really done my country Kenya justice. Continue show casing beautiful African gems. Welcome back to Kenya there many hidden gems in Kenya like Nanyuki, Rusinga Island, Samburu, Maasai Mara, Tsavo, Amboseli, Naivasha, Rift Valley Lakes, Maasai Mara, Diani, Watuma etc
You've done kenya justice and Africa as a whole. As a kenyan I've followed your videos all the time you've been in kenya and i have had a nice time watching your i hope you visit again and be blessed. The real gems are in Africa they only need to be discovered
Lamu added to my bucket list for sure! Thank you Jasmine, if it wasn't for you I definitely would not have known about it. Can't wait to see more of Kenya through your lens :)
When I saw your 1st video 📹 after arriving in kenya, that's when I knew that you gonna be amazed by what you'll be doing for the longest time you wanna be there....even if you have less days there's possibility of adding more to enjoy the natural adventures. Just enjoying your vlogs here Jasmine from Kenya but in kuwait 🇰🇼 now
Wow, I fully appreciate this video. Usually hard to watch a 30 minute video but this has been so easy and I honestly would have watched for 2hours. Thanks Jasmine. ❤️🙏🏾
I love your show Oshay, i am a Sierra Leonean, and there's no better place to be in Africa, than Uganda, the home where modern homo sapiens, our ancestors, came into being, and where the source of the Nile originates from. I hope that many Africans of the continent, as well as Africans of the diaspora would put Uganda on their bucket list, as a place to visit.
Jasmine, you're amazing, kind hearted and lovely. Thanks for your visit to Kenya. I have been watching your videos right from Departure in Ghana to this final clip of Lamu. You're purely an African lady who love your culture. Kudos for the Kenya showcase. Pass my warm greetings to our families in Ghana, tell them Kenyans love them. I'll definitely make a payback trip and explore Ghana Inshallah. By the way I like the tune at 42:10❤
I really enjoyed this. Very relaxing. Jasmines soothing voice, the videographer did an amazing job. The editing, music . Big shout to Kenya and the people of Lamu, its clean and the people seem honest. And the guy who doesn’t need a plane to visit London 😂
Thank you so much! I was dancing to some of the songs while editing this video 😅 Glad lots of u loved it as much as i did. My video guy is the best 🙏🏾🥰
This is one of the best videos I have seen; Jasmine has really shown much of the culture and sights of this Kenyan gem, Lamu. Its a kind of place where you might intend to stay for two days but end up staying for two months. I stayed there for twelve days but wanted to stay much longer. The place has great ambience and most relaxing and safe to move around. You wont want to leave! i was there during Ramadan and enjoyed the Eid meal at the end of the month with a guide. It would be great to go out of Lamu into the interior of the island to see rural life - tamarind trees, palm wine and fishing, dhow making as I did. The Swahili house museum in Lamu is worth a look; Jasmine stayed in a traditional Swahil house, vert delightful. The flat topped trees are actually thorn acacias and are very common on the islands here. I also went by dhow to the island of Pate where I spent a night savouring the atmosphere. Lamu is worth a visit; go there and enjoy! It s much better than Mombasa.
Miraa (known as khat in other countries) is actually a drug banned in many countries. But it's a legit cash crop in Kenya with the biggest market being Somalia.
Hi Jasmine. New subscriber and biggest fan of yours. I loved your Kenyan vlogs especially Mombasa and Lamu. I'm from Mombasa and have watching your videos This reminds me of home. I will say, save your money and shop for jewelry/asscessories in Nairobi. Masai Market in Nairobi is the real deal. It's way cheaper and there's lots of varieties. I was surprised by how much you spent on some of the jewelry in Malindi. That's a regular price for tourists. All in all please come and visit 🇰🇪 Kenya again.. Enjoy your visit. Karibu sana.
i was waiting for you to post! i love your vlogs and the way you explain and really show us the real experience. def wanna go back to kenya and visit lamu
Ms Jasmine your videos are a breath of fresh air! Thanks for showing us places we didn’t know were on the map! We will definitely find the sistha ! Shalom & Salaam Alakuim!☪️✡️☮️🌎✅fyi you & Tayo Aino r my favorite Travel vloggers!
Wow brave lady Jasmine 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾. Loving your uninterrupted courageous exposures and trust you are enjoying your tour of Kenya and her people. I love your Lamu tour guide👍🏾. Keep the flame🔥🔥 burning🙏🏽🙏🏽before you return to Ghana.
This place is SO beautiful and should have many more people visiting . I have never even heard of the place ! African governments have to do a better job of promoting tourism!! 40% of Britain's economy comes from tourism ! The state of Florida GDP of one trillion DOLLARS is more than the GDP of West Africa combined and much of it comes from tourism! Tourism could really improve the lives of so many Africans and provide well needed jobs! Thanks to people like Jasmin who are showing us that these places even exist !!
Only those who care to know Kenya get to hear about these places. White folks know and frequent these places!! It is mostly Africans and black folk who seem to live in a world of never knowing/ignorance! Infact it is off-peak now due to the rains but it gets many visitors. Tis is a UNESCO World Heritage site so it is out there for those who seek to know stuff.
@@esem135 Why is your government not promoting the place ? There are so many places that are been actively promoted everyday . Is it a test ?Are we supposed to start searching out places ? You are blaming people for not knowing about a place that has had no publicity of any kind ! That is why Africa barely makes any money from tourism due to this idea that people should some how go looking for places in Africa !! LOL! Disney is known by everyone because of the states program of aggressively promoting tourism and attracting people to visit!
@josephbrown1573 The fact that you have never heard of it does not mean that applies to other people too!! How about addressing that first? If the place was not known like you claim, why does UNESCO acknowledge it? There is a tourism board that promotes Kenya, so the government does promote Kenya, that is why Kenya is among the LEADING tour destinations in AFRICA. You cannot blame your IGNORANCE on others or blame governments. And YES, those who seek information get it! It is YOUR obligation to discover some information YOURSELF! This is not the ONLY and FIRST video about Lamu! Plenty others that you have never seen. At least this video has informed you!
Lamu is a precious secret. But it cannot bear the weight of far too many visitors. It is important that it keeps its hidden gem status. It is a wholesome pce of ancient innocence. Our beautiful Lamu deserves only the most conscious and open-hearted of visitors finding it.
Your presentation is not only eye but ear candy too. I was looking forward to get your perspective of Lamu. Good too see you enjoyed. Cheers daughter of Africa.
Anyone that bares the name Ama is very intelligent, creative, and hardworking. An you are one of such. I started watching you videos from 2019, I had no television in my room so your channel was my no 1. You have indeed made a huge progress. Congrats.
