A pretty town on the banks of the Kilifi Creek, Kilifi is home to arty/yachtie communities who have snatched up the land alongside the lovely creek and gather in the evenings to drink and tell their stories.

For many years the only means of crossing the creek was by ferry, but a bridge was built which is not as much fun, but more practical. Not that many people stop in Kilifi, but it is worth breaking your journey to look at the Mnarani Ruins.
