Lamu Cultural Festival

Every traveler needs to experience the Lamu Cultural Festival at least once in their lifetime. From November 28 to 30‚ the island came alive with the sounds‚ colors‚ and traditions of Swahili culture‚ drawing visitors from all over the world. At the core of it all was Skyward Express‚ not just flying people to Lamu but becoming an intricate part of the celebration.Owing to the hype and pomp the festival receives‚ Skyward Express stepped up and added an extra flight from JKIA to Lamu.

This thoughtful gesture ensured everyone who wanted to experience the festival could get there in comfort‚ whether they were first-time tourists‚ dignitaries or returning enthusiasts. From the thrilling dhow races to the lively traditional dances and the unfor gettable donkey races‚ no one was left behind because of limited travel options.

But Skyward’s role didn’t stop at flying people in. We went further by sponsoring two of the festival’s most beloved events: the dhow race and the donkey race. All donkey racers dawned Skyward branded vests & bucket hats. The dhow races? Well‚ let’s just say if Skyward is to venture into sailing‚ we already know where to start. If you’ve ever seen a dhow gracefully slicing through the water or a donkey race filled with laughs and excitement‚ you know how special these moments are to the Lamu experience.

Skyward’s support made these events even more spectacular‚ reminding everyone of the importance of preserving these cultural treasures. This wasn’t just about business for Skyward Express; it was about being part of the story. By supporting the festival in such meaningful ways‚ we took part in celebrating Kenya’s vibrant culture and ensured that the traditions of Lamu continue to shine bright. As we look ahead to 2025‚ why not let Skyward Express take you to your next adventure? Whether it’s Lamu or beyond‚ we are more than just an airline—we are part of the journey.
