| 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. |
