Malindi
and Watamu Beach in Kenya
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 both 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 other
worldly 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.
