What to do and see in Malindi, Coast Province: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
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.

The coastal village of Watamu is known for its wonderful white sand beach. The region is protected as part of the Watamu National Marine Park.

Watamu Beach especially near Fortamu is a paradise. Beautiful white sand beach where you can walk freely and enjoy the spectacular view. During high tides you can enjoy the water that is giving the sensation of a warm bathtub. I spent a wonderful week! Definitively a place to visit in Kenya.

Located just a few kilometers from Malindi town is this sandstone canyon Marafa depression. If you visit in the evening, the layer cake colors of the sandstone reveal hues of whites, pinks, oranges and deep crimson making the gorge so striking at sunset. There is a fable and a geological explanation of how it was formed, once you visit you’ll get to pick which one to believe. Excellent for a day trip when combined with other activities in Malindi.

I thought this was going to be a really sad place; zoos in developing nations are usually poorly kept and cramped for the animals. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. The place had snakes, a giant tortoise and crocodiles; as well as birds, mostly hawks and owls. Although the cages were small they weren't cramped and the birds are allowed to "free fly". Our guide took us around and explained that this (private) zoo bred the birds and then released them into the wild. Some of the birds have been injured and can't be released back into the wild. A wonderful place and a MUST visit in Malindi. Why isn't this place in the Lonely Planet guide to Kenya?
