Plan My Safari
A sunny, relaxed town with Italian flair, Swahili history and some surprising natural wonders.
Malindi is one of the coast’s oldest towns, with a lively waterfront, a famous Vasco da Gama pillar and a very good food scene that blends Swahili and Italian influences.
A short drive away, the red cliffs of Marafa, known as Hell’s Kitchen, glow at sunset, while Gedi Ruins and the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest are close by.
The beaches are long and quiet, and the town is a good base for deep-sea fishing, snorkelling and exploring.





Malindi is warm all year, with the best beach weather from December to March and July to October.
Weather patterns shift from year to year, so ask us about the dates you have in mind.
The right place shapes your whole trip. Here are the three styles we recommend most.
Every day is different, but this is the rhythm most guests fall in love with.
Coffee, cool air and the best light of the day.
Wildlife is most active in the first hours.
A hot meal in the open, with a view.
Pool, nap, walk or a visit nearby.
Fresh food, shade and a good story.
Softer light and busy animals.
A cold drink and a wide sky.
Lanterns, fire and a sky full of stars.
Starting points, not set menus. Tap one to see the days, then tell us what to change.
A dramatic red canyon, best at sunset.
Gently so, with good restaurants and shops.
Yes, deep-sea trips run most of the year.
Short direct flights from Nairobi.
