If you’re in Lamu, make sure you experience the beautiful culture of henna, locally known as hina. It’s a cherished coastal tradition, especially among Swahili women, used to celebrate weddings, Eid, and other special occasions. The intricate designs are done using natural henna paste, usually applied on the hands and feet. Whether you’re marking a moment or just treating yourself, getting hina in Lamu is both a cultural experience and a little piece of wearable art.
