The Kenyan Coast region

Malindi town has survived 4 centuries and has an incredibly interesting history. A fairly untidy, chaotic place but real Africa mixed with Arab Swahili influences however very vibrant and full of colour, particularly the markets.

There are numerous things to do in and around Malindi and lots of sites on the internet about Malindi, Watamu, Gedi and Kipepeo, Kilifi, Lamu, Mombasa and the Tsavo National Park.

The Malindi / Casuarina area

Diving and snorkelling the Malindi and Watamu Marine National Parks is highly recommended. The coral gardens are spectacular and there is always a chance of spotting turtles, dolphins, giant groupers or the harmless Whale Shark who are regularly sighted in the area.

Malindi is famous for big game fishing safaris (tag and release). Sailfish, marlin and swordfish are all plentiful.

Safaris into the East Tsavo National Park, 100kms to the west of Malindi can be arranged. The classic tented safari camps are situated along the Galana river.

The Gedi ruins, remnants of a 13th to 17th century Swahili town abandoned 3 centuries ago, is also well worth a visit.

The numerous restaurants in Malindi are excellent thanks to the resident Italian and German influences.
Local African style places are also very good. Nyama Choma (BBQ meat) and Swahili seafood curries in particular.

Shopping is excellent and very good value. Beautiful silver jewellery, fabrics, throws, kangas and Kikoi's, beaded leather sandals, bags and belts, soapstone carvings, locally made brass and glass light fittings. Classic Tinga Tinga artworks - stylised modern paintings in enamel, famous Makonde wood carvings, Arab and Swahili antiques.
