Bao la Kete (Swahili: board for mancala stones), also known as Bao la Komwe or Kombe, is a close variant of Zanzibarian Bao played in the Lamu Archipelago, off the northern coast of Kenya. Its occurrence on Lamu was first mentioned by Walter Driedger in 1972 and the local rules were given by Alan W. Boyd in 1979. "Bao" is a generic expression and Bao la Kete is used to distinguish this mancala game from other board games popular on Lamu such as Bao la Dama ("Draughts") and Bao la Dumna ("Chess"). The game is mostly played by men, who ofen meet in the open square in front of Lamu's fort to have tournaments under the shade of casuarina trees.
