MALINDI

Malindi is an awesome destination that blends stunning beaches, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant marine life. With its pristine white sands, azure waters, and swaying palm trees, Malindi offers a tropical escape like no other. 

Other than getting your tan on as you soak the sun up by the beach, you can also explore some historical treasures near Malindi, such as the Gede Ruins - an ancient Swahili settlement, or go and visit Marafa-Hell’s Kitchen - a unique sandstone canyon with striking colours.

Explore the quaint streets of the town, where Swahili and Arab influences can be seen in the architecture and local cuisine. Indulge in delicious seafood and savour the unique flavours that also reflect the Italian influence, a result of the town's historical connections with Italian settlers. Whether you're basking in the sun, exploring the underwater wonders while snorkelling or diving, walking through the local markets, or treating your taste buds to a fusion of cultural delights, Malindi promises an unforgettable coastal experience.
