The best things to do in Malindi



Are you headed to the coast of Kenya and still wondering what to do in Malindi?
The beaches are undoubtedly the main places to visit in Malindi due to the long stretch of beautiful coral reefs that extend along the coast and have fascinated travelers and even Ernest Hemingway. The best place to observe the coral is Malindi Marine National Park, which is one of the essential things to see in Malindi. Guided tours to the park area offer spectacular dives in shallow waters surrounded by coral, balloon fish, starfish, and crabs.
Despite the beauty, there are more attractions in Malindi besides the beaches. In the narrow streets of the old town you will find interesting monuments such as the Juma mosque. The church of San Francisco Javier, where the famous Cross of Vasco de Gama stands, is one of the Malindi attractions which testify to the historical importance of this port city. Other interesting things to do in Malindi are the archaeological site of Gedi, a Swahili city that had its heyday during the seventeenth century, and the Tana Delta, whose mangroves attract hippos, crocodiles, and waterfowl.
