MALINDI AND WATAMU
The most popular spot in Malindi Marine National
Park, one of it’s kind in Africa The Park lies about 2kms
offshore and is reachable by glass- bottomed boats. The park abounds
with beautiful and diverse marine life. Other places of interest
include the Vasco da Gama Pillar erected in 1498 as a navigational
aid and the Malindi crocodile Farm and Snake Park. A short distance
north of Malindi at Mamburi is large saltpans, which produce salt
for both domestic and export markets. However what draws tourists
to this small town more than anything else is the ‘holiday
air’ that blows about the place. The tranquility of the
township and the merry atmosphere facilitates complete relaxation.
About 24kms south of Malindi is Watamu Beach holiday resort with
its own marine National Park established for the preservation
of coral reef resources. The coral reefs here are of exquisite
beauty .A short distances from Watamu are the famous Gedi ruins,
one of the principal historical monuments on the coast. Near the
Gedi ruins is the Kipepo Butterfly Farm where many species of
butterfly are collected for export.
The Lamu archipelago is 30 minutes flight from Malindi.
Access to Lamu Island is only possible by boat. The town is linked
to the mainland and to the three other small islands of Kiwayu,
Manda and Kiunga by waterways. Air travelers land at the airstrip
on the Manda Island and the proceed by boat to lamu. Lamu is a
unique town. It has magnificent old houses and street that are
too narrow and winding to accommodate motorized transport. Consequently
donkeys are the only mode of transportation! There is a thriving
Swahili culture in Lamu that has defied the passage of time and
architecture that resists change. You do not need watch here.
Nothing happens in a hurry in Lamu! It is one of the most interesting
tourist destinations anywhere.
