Thanks to Hippo Dhow and for arranging this for me. Lamu Island, Kenya - Ever since I was a child growing up in Kenya, I had wanted to visit Lamu Island. Its one of the best places in the world to experience authentic Swahili culture and food - and so in this video were going on an ultimate Kenyan food tour of Lamu, plus in the evening, we were able to take a ride of a dhow with an amazing bbq Shela Village, Lamu - During our visit to Lamu we stayed in Shela Village, a little down the coast from Lamu Old Town. Shela is a beautiful place though, quiet and serene. In the morning we set out by boat to Lamu Old town to get the street food and sightseeing tour started. Lamu Old Town - Lamu Old Town is one of those ancient cities where everywhere you look theres something fascinating. The old narrow lanes are a joy to explore, and you also have to dodge donkeys everywhere. We enjoyed a mix of small snacks including fried cassava, coffee, sweet sesame brittle, and coconuts. The central market in Lamu Town is also a great colorful place to walk around and explore, and to see what types of ingredients are most common in Swahili food. The highlight of the street food in Lamu for me though, were the mishakiki, grilled skewers of beef meat served with pilipili. Coffee - 20 KES (0. 20) Casava - 20 KES (0. 20) Coconut - 30 KES (0. 30) Mishakiki - 25 KES (0. 24) per stick Hippo Dhow - A dhow is a traditional sailboat on the Indian Ocean, and the crew at Hippo Dhow are awesome. Through they were able to connect me, and we set off in the afternoon to sail. The peace of sailing is one of the greatest things ever. After sailing for a while, we anchored off a small sandbar and grill up some delicious fish. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Lamu Lamu Island is one of the most fascinating places to visit in Kenya

Lamu, a World Heritage City I never even heard of tt pace. I am learning so much from you. Many years ago, I studied some Swahili, a wonderful language When heard talk about the donkeys, it reminded me of a book you would LOVE to read to Micah. it's called THE WONKY DONKEY. It is just so hilarious So spectacular to learn so much with each of your videos. (I LOVE curry leaves I am able to buy them here in Phoenix/Tempe. The flavor is so amazing

the food and culture is beautiful_ looking foward to experience Ancestoral Land myself_ but unfortunately the Tourist Mark _ eats as he has a spirit of Gluttony on him_ Mark you to watch your own video and watch the people in the background exspressions when you're eating as if you're greedy_ Nevertheless, thanks for sharing

I love your videos for the cultural insights, and your capturing the lovely local markets and countryside scenery. Your graciousness and courtesy towards the countries and peoples is so heartwarming and genuine. I'm not a meat eater, so that part of your vids are difficult, as it's hard to see noble animals ending up on a dinner plate.

My mouth is literally watering as I watch him take a bite every time. I love chapatis so much. Uganda, where I am from is neighbors with Kenya and we have a lot of Kenyans in my country, they are the best at seasoning and grilling meat. I will be in Uganda mid next year and I can't wait to eat their grilled goat yummmm

Some people are more suited for their life's work, as the constant smile on Mark's face indicates. This must be a wonderful life for his family. I enjoy watching Mark explaining the food, the people. I wish there were recipes included. Your wife chosen well. Best onYoutube. Best luck Mark

Mark I really admire spirit and charisma to food. You are very unique indeed to taste and eat whatever that culture eats and how it is cooked and where it is cooked and the conditions the food is cooked in. Marvellous mark. I must say I'm learning much.
