What to do and see in Malindi, Coast Province: The Best Walking Tours
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.

Me and my girlfriend were looking for a safari in Kenya and a friend gave us Benzi's contact. He has been friendly, kind and caring since the first call we had. He customized several proposals for us as he understood that we wanted to experience the beauty of nature and the spotting of wildlife without spending exaggerate amount of money. Our safari has been AWESOME!! He and his great driver Paolo picked us directly at home (even we were staying far from Watamu), and took us to the magnificent Amboseli National Park. Thanks to Benzi's knowledge and experience (and a bit of luck for sure) we spotted almost all possible animals in the park just along the first evening drive! He shared a lot of information about wildlife, local culture and animals' habits. After having spotted many other animals (cheetas, lions, etc..) in the early morning of the 2nd day, he drove us to the Tsavo East Park. Another beautiful sunset in the great Savannah, sourranded by elephants and birds of all kind. During the 3rd day we had time for another last drive in the park (couple of male lions walked just beside our van) before heading home. What else should I say, Benzi has gifted us with the most memorable experience in Kenya!! He is very professional, knows the perfect timing and paths to spot animals in all the greatest parks. Both ACCOMODATIONS he chose for us were great, as well as the FOOD served!! Furthermore -and most important- he is very funny and kind..a perfect travel guide! We became friends and we can't wait to plan another adventure with him!
