10 Sightseeing Tours in Malindi That You Shouldn't Miss
Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama stopped at Malindi on his way to India in 1498 and erected a pillar that remains overlooking the harbor, however precariously, to this day. Still popular with Europeans, Malindi is famed for coral reefs that lie just 1,000 feet off its shore, best seen at Malindi National Marine Park or nearby Watamu. Game fishing, surfing and simply relaxing on the beach are popular local pastimes. The narrow streets and market of Malindi's old town are worth a visit.

It’s a lovely park - lots of rhino, buffalo, Rothschild giraffe. But a clean up needs to happen. There is lots of rubbish around the shoreline which should be cleaned up and we saw lots of dead flamingos and pelicans. In the past, tourists have flocked to see the countless flamingos on the lake. The lake is being polluted by run off from factories from Nakuru and it seems that is killing the birds. If that isn’t sorted out soon, people may stop coming.

We had an amazing experience it was once in a lifetime kind of experience. The weather was soo beautiful and pleasant and animals freely roaming around the hotels(ones which are not harmful) like deers, zebra, etc the views from each of our hotels were so beautiful and peaceful. You can get good 8 hours sleep without any interruptions so calm and surreal. Where do i even get started on the safari, We went for mostly 2half days and one full day safari in low season and still we got to see all the animals like lion and leopard with their whole family and so up close it was like watch national geographic in reality we also got to see the hunt of deer by leopard. We are vegetarian people and still didn’t encounter any issues for our food amazing menu and service from each hotel. Special thanks to our experienced driver would highly recommend to get him, his name was Vincent and was truly a delight to meet him. He took us to all the locations where there were high chances of animals and we would definitely find there he was really hard working and tried his best to fulfil our every wish we are soo thankful for all the organisation done by the tour operator Ashwin and the guide(Vincent) provided by them.

We very much enjoyed an afternoon tour for two to the Marafa Depression (Hell’s Kitchen) that was tailored by Kish for us. It was timed perfectly as we wanted to be there for the sunset, and he also took COVID-19 precautions. The price, which we found reasonable for the distance (1.5 hours from Watamu) and included the entry fees and a local community guide taking us around at this amazing site. Kish was a great host in every sense, showing us spots around Malindi en route and bringing us around Watamu after the trip back in search of a restaurant. His company was a pleasure and we would not hesitate to recommend him to organise future trips.
