Lamu Donkey Sanctuary
Najboljši čas za obisk
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.
Nasveti za proračun
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.

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Približno 3.000 oslov prevaža vodo, blago in ljudi skozi staro mesto brez avtomobilov in vsak od njih dobi brezplačno veterinarsko oskrbo, ko jo potrebuje. Zavetišče hkrati oskrbuje okoli 60 bolnišničnih pacientov, od razpokanih kopit do zoprnih sedelnih ran, nato pa jih popolnoma ozdravljene pošlje nazaj na delo.
Poudarki: Vsak osel nosi zvonec, ki ustvarja mehko zvočno kuliso po ozkih uličicah, na peščenem dvorišču pa boste opazili ograde s pokritimi ročno napisanimi imeni vsakega pacienta. Lastniki ne morejo vzeti okrevajočega osla nazaj na težko ulično delo, dokler veterinar ne da zelene luči, pravilo, ki je rešilo na tisoče živali pred preobremenitvijo.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
