SAVING THE WORLD'S ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

KENYA OFFERS MORE THAN SAFARIS


Kenya is known as a remarkable destination for safaris, with a vast array of wildlife and rich natural beauty. But who said that a safari is the only way to appreciate Kenya.

Along Kenya’s coastline, you will discover the island of Lamu with its Swahili culture and heritage, best represented by its historic architecture. The distinctive stone houses are built of coral rag, a type of limestone composed of ancient coral reefs quarried for building materials. These historic houses need not only eyes to admire them, but a willingness to protect them and hands to restore them.

Travel to Kenya and join Adventures in Preservation’s workshop to Re-Discover the Soul of Swahili Tradition: Conservation Of Swahili-Style Stone House - scheduled for February 7-20 2010 - and have a hand in saving heritage at this World Heritage Site.
