The
small town of Malindi is at the centre of a strip of idyllic tropical
beaches offering the visitor a range of world class resorts and quiet
relaxing hideaways. Further south, the sleepy village of Watamu is
fronted by wide white beaches. This tranquil haven is home to several
well established resorts, and many private guesthouses scattered through
the forest along the deserted shore.
At Watamu a Marine National Park has been established, an ideal day trip
for divers and snorkellers alike.
Northwest
of Malindi is the spectacular Marafa Depression, locally known as Nyari
and popularly known as Hell's Kitchen. An extensive series of sandstone
gorges and sheer gullies, this unique and otherworldly landscape has
become part of local folklore.
The thick jungles of the Arabuko Sokoke Forest reserve hide a world of
wonders. In the cool of the forest winding paths will take you in search
of rare endemic birds and mammals, and visiting herds of Elephant.
The forest holds another secret, the lost town of Gedi, a deserted
trading Swahili town hidden deep in the forests,whose winding passages
and crumbling walls tell of a long and mysterious past.
Walk through the Forest, explore the mangroves by boat, dive on the reef
or try your hand at big game fishing. At the North coast you have all
these choices and more, with the space and freedom to relax, unwind, and
soak up the atmosphere
