Manda Airport is the primary air entry point for visitors to Lamu, located on Manda Island just a short boat ride from Lamu Town. The airport itself is modest, but the approach offers stunning aerial views of the archipelago's turquoise waters, coral reefs, and mangrove-fringed islands. Upon landing, travelers take a dhow or motorboat across the channel to Lamu Island. The experience is a seamless blend of rustic island travel and breathtaking scenery, setting the tone for a Lamu visit.
