MALINDI KENYA
MALINDI SAFARIS BY AIR
Malindi has white, sandy beaches, historical sites and superb seafood. The narrow streets are full of unhurried locals a smattering of curious travelers.
The beaches are reef- protected and
therefore safe for swimming. We have a wide selection of Kenya beach
holidays, ranging from 5 star hotels to private beach villas and
cottages.
Beach locations include Mombasa, Malindi, Lamu and south coast. and
beach hotels.
By the 14th century Malindi was an important Swahili settlement and it became one of the few places on the east coast to welcome the Portuguese. Today you can still see the stone cross erected by Vasco da Gama in January 1499 and the small Portuguese church nearby. It is not only Portuguese sailors who are welcome these days, but a great many tourists who are drawn to its lovely long beaches. As a result, it has something of a resort atmosphere but this is pleasantly mixed with the earthiness of an African centre. Cotton and sisal production are still major earners, as is fishing. Malindi is well served with restaurants, hotels, cafes and a post office. With the coral reefs having been declared the Malindi Marine National Park this is a great place for snorkelling and diving, as well as game fishing and surfing. Just be warned, Malindi is renowned for its knife-bearing muggers. To avoid ruining your evening stay off the beach at night, and use a taxi or stick to a main road with street lighting.
Kenya has some of the best beaches in the world. Mile upon mile of sun-kissed, white tropical beaches and blue skies, in addition to great hotels, makes the coast the perfect compliment to an upcountry safari, especially since Mombasa is only a 40 minute flight from Nairobi. The beaches are protected by reefs and therefore allow for safe swimming.
Malindi has 480 km of vast uninterrupted white sand beaches fringed with palms, casuarinas, oleanders and brilliant bougainvilliaea, washed by incredible sparkling blue waters of an opal Indian Ocean, makes the Kenya coast one of the most idyllic resort areas anywhere in the world. In the North and South Coast stand some of Kenya's finest hotels, nestling in cleared beach front areas, offering a very wide variety of watersports and activities. The Kisite Marine Park, almost at the Tanzanian border, an intriguing underwater world, can be reached from Shimoni or Wasini Island in a lovely dhow trip. In North, Nyali, Bamburi, Shanzu and Kikambala are a paradise of sand and bright blue sea, with its calm unruffled waters. In South, Tiwi and Diani Beach with their long white, sandy beaches, - unforgettable for those who has been there.

Malindi
Malindi has remained an important Swahili settlement since the 14th
century and once rivaled Mombasa for dominance in this part of East
Africa. Malindi has traditionally been a friendly port city for foreign
powers. In 1414, the King of Milindi initiated diplomatic relations with
China during the voyages of the explorer Zheng He. The great Portuguese
explorer, Vasco da Gama, was welcomed by Malindi authorities in 1498.
The following year East Africa’s doors to Europe opened officially as
the Portuguese established a trading post.
Today Malindi is in the midst of a tourist boom primarily due to its spectacular beaches. Although tourism is an important industry, Malindi enjoys a strong African center where commerce and business outside the tourist industry thrive. As a resort town, Malindi features the usual array of hotels, restaurants, and discos. The beaches are excellent (and relatively free from seaweed) and snorkeling opportunities are abundant. The Malindi Marine National Park, a 213 sq km reserve, together with the Watumu Park jointly comprise a protected biosphere reserve. Glass bottom boats can be hired at most hotels for the trip out to the coral reefs. The sights are spectacular although tourist wear and tear is taking its toll as errant flippers and zealous shell collectors have left their mark on the natural beauty. During the rainy season, silt washes in from the Galana River limiting visibility severely. Malindi also serves as one of Kenya’s primary centers for deep-sea fishing with trips organized through most resorts.
As an Islamic stronghold, Malindi is home to twelve mosques, the largest of which is Juma’a Mosque in the heart of the old town. Malindi also features relics from its Portuguese inhabitants dating back to the 16th century. A tiny whitewashed chapel can be found at the southern end of town which is thought to have been the first Christian church in East Africa. The original Vasco Da Gama cross sits at the entrance to the bay and commemorates the explorer’s visit to Malindi. The ruins at Gedi also highlight the rich cultural history that characterizes the northern coastal region.
Gedi was a
thriving city state from the 13th to the early 17th centuries, although
the exact history of the region is somewhat sketchy. Relics found
indicate that it was once a trading port of some wealth. Ruins include
tombs, a mosque, numerous houses, and remains of a palace. The site is
particularly well preserved and is recognized as a primary historical
monument in the coastal region.
Malindi conjures up visions of a great historic town that has journeyed
through ages. The culture, economy and general setup of any given place
changes with time, and Malindi has journeyed through these eras with
much pomp and flair from the time of the early Chinese and Arab traders
to the Portuguese sailors and later on to European settlers who
alongside other investors have transformed Malindi into a reputable
destination of tourism importance. Yet there is still much warmth and
hospitality of the people of Kenya experience here in Malindi.
Their friendliness and welcoming attitude among others is a charm that
cannot be rivaled in any other tourist destination the world over.
Malindi is known for its culinary prowess with its restaurants, hotels,
coffeehouses and other eating places offering a wide range of cuisines
ranging from local flavors to international cuisines. The revival of the
architectural industry and carpentry specializing in local wood
artifacts is something to be savored by all visitors.
Malindi has got various woodcarvers who can make very unique furniture
and also the famous Lamu beds. There are also local tour guides to take
you around to exotic places you have never seen before!
Given that Malindi is a seaside resort, do not forget to go out swimming
in the warm waters, go deep sea fishing or visit the marine park
alongside sunbathing and other beach sports in this lovely aquatic
paradise. Various activities, religious, cultural and other activities
which involve the whole of Malindi community do take place and tourists
are invited to attend such functions and have a feeling of being part of
the community, for example, participation in beach cleaning, tree
planting and religious festivals.
