MALINDI AND WATAMU HOTELS
Malindi, on the East Coast
of Africa, is one of the oldest cities on the
Indian Ocean.
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.
Malindi Key Hotel
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.
