Lamu Donkey Sanctuary
Najbolje vreme za posetu
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.
Saveti za budžet
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 atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Otprilike 3.000 magaraca prevozi vodu, robu i ljude kroz stari grad bez automobila, a svaki od njih dobija besplatnu veterinarsku negu kada mu je potrebna. Sklonište istovremeno leči oko 60 pacijenata na stacionarnom lečenju, od ispucalih kopita do gadnih rana od sedla, a zatim ih vraća na posao potpuno izlečene.
Istaknuto: Svaki magarac nosi zvono koje proizvodi tihu zvučnu kulisu kroz uske uličice, a u peščanom dvorištu primetićete boksove oslikane rukom pisanim imenom svakog pacijenta. Vlasnici ne mogu da vrate magarca koji se oporavlja na težak ulični posao dok veterinar ne da zeleno svetlo, pravilo koje je spasilo hiljade životinja od preopterećenja.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
