Lamu Donkey Sanctuary
訪問に最適な時期
Arrive between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m. for the morning feed, when every bell in the yard rings at once. The dry months from January to March keep the sandy paths tidy and the flies down.
予算のヒント
Entry is free, though a donation of about $5 per visitor keeps vaccinations and feed flowing, and a guided tour costs a little extra. Ask about long-term donkey sponsorship if you want to do real good, a program that lets donors follow a specific animal.
おすすめ対象
Animal lovers, Families with kids, Photography enthusiasts, Slow travelers

概要
クイックファクト: 車のない旧市街では約3,000頭のロバが水や物資、人々を運んでおり、そのすべてが必要なときに無料の獣医治療を受けられる。この保護施設は、ひび割れた蹄からひどい鞍ずれまで、一度に約60頭の入院患者を治療し、完全に治ったら仕事に戻す。
見どころ: どのロバも鈴を付けていて、その澄んだ音が狭い路地に柔らかなBGMを響かせる。砂の敷かれた庭では、それぞれの入院患者の名前が手書きで書かれた柵が見つかるだろう。獣医の許可が出るまで、飼い主は回復中のロバを過酷な街路仕事に戻すことはできない。このルールのおかげで何千頭もの動物が酷使されずに済んでいる。
インサイダーヒント
- Wear closed-toe shoes and be ready for sandy footing, because the courtyard is lived-in by donkeys.
- Show up for the 10:30 a.m. feeding session to see every patient gather at once, bells ringing.
- Visit before noon, when the shade is strongest and the donkeys are most alert.
- Carry small bills in Kenyan shillings for donations and for tipping the helpful staff.
