Travel Special: WIN A TRIP TO THE PLACE OF YOUR DREAMS!

STA TRAVEL & INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY TRAVEL COMPETITION

STA travel , specialists in young, independent travel, and the Independent on Sunday are offering you the chance to visit one of the world's most spectacular and unspoilt tropical islands. Escape, with a friend, to Lamu, off the coast of Kenya, a destination highlighted in our guide as a place to visit now, before the hordes arrive. Its attractions include a seven-mile-long white-sand beach and an old stone town, that's home to a fascinating mixture of African and Arabic culture. STA Travel is offering two free air tickets from London to Nairobi in Kenya. You can then either continue through the spectacular countryside by train and boat to Lamu, or take a short flight. All will be arranged by STA Travel. To enter, all you have to do is name two continents in which STA Travel has offices.
