Things To Do In Malindi
Malindi is a place of exceptional natural beauty and an extraordinary place to live and work. Discover Malindi, the best the Kenyan coast has to offer.
National Marine Park
Malindi Marine National Park is an underwater paradise. It is claimed to be the oldest marine park in Africa and indeed the first of its kind in Kenya. Fringing reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, coral gardens in the lagoons, mudflats, dolphins and turtles make it a priceless Kenyan gem that should never miss in your coastal bucket list.
​
Enjoy glass-bottom boat rides in the Ocean and see more than 600 species of marine life. There are 145 types of hard coral, 12 species of echinoids, 135 types of gastropods and 200 species of benthic cover algae to see as well.
Sand Dunes Mambrui
About 20 kilometers north of Malindi is the town of Mambrui. You’ll notice an amazing attraction as you head toward the ocean outside the town – the Mambrui Dunes. The wonderful spread of dunes stretches from Mambrui Beach to Ngomeni village. It’s one of the best things to see in Malindi and the easiest way to get there is to hire a taxi from Malindi town. ​
Go Scuba Diving
For those inclined to scuba diving, the coral reefs in Malindi are some of the most beautiful in the world. They’re filled with various species of marine life, including colorful fish (like snappers, filefish, angelfish, and groupers). Thousands of divers flock there yearly to plunge and marvel at the world beneath the surface.
​
Besides scuba diving, deep sea/offshore fishing is another of the best things to do in Malindi.
Swahili Dishes
The local culinary scene is diverse. It offers various foods that reflect the destinations’ rich culture. Enjoy a seafood platter freshly caught on the day from the ocean.
Try the biryani (aromatic rice cooked with spices and chicken or beef), pilau, and wali wa nazi (coconut rice). Also, try snacks such as samosa and pastries like mandazi/mahamri (a form of fried bread).
Hell's Kitchen Marafa
Located about a 1hours’ drive away from Malindi, Marafa Hell’s Kitchen is a work & wonder of Mother Nature! After years of soil, wind, and water erosion, great depressions have formed in the land, causing the most scenic canyons to behold! Locally, the place is known as ‘Nyari‘ which apparently means: the place broken by itself.
​
The local community manages this marvelous attraction, which they call “Nyari” – the place broken by itself. The fee for this tourist site in Malindi is $10, which goes toward helping the community and managing the site
Tsavo East Safari
Tsavo East National Park. It’s located about 4 hours from Malindi and is one of the best safari parks in Kenya.
​
Besides game-watching (elephants, leopards, lions, and other animals), Tsavo East is home to other scenic attractions such as beautiful landscapes, Mudanda rock formations, and the eye-catching Lugard Falls.
The Hanging Gardens
The Hanging Gardens is an Orchid nursery that specializes in various species including the Tillandsia (Spanish Moss). What they do with plants here is remarkable, and the experience is well worth adding to your itinerary.
​
As well as seeing various types of orchids you likely have never seen before, you’ll also have the opportunity to purchase them. Visits to this center are by appointment only.
Explore The Beaches
​
Malindi beaches are spectacular. They have golden and white sands, suitable for relaxation, long walks, or jogging (if you’re so inclined). Close to these beaches, you’ll also find some of the best beach villas and resorts in Kenya.
