Around Malindi
Malindi Site Seeing
Malindi is a fascinating town to explore with many attractions and a rich cultural history (see Malindi Attractions for more details). You can explore independently, join a tour group for a day, or we can provide you with a personal escort to show you around and help you bargain for those curios!



Shopping in Malindi
You can buy your supplies in either the several supermarkets off Lamu road or in the local shops. For your curios, visit the tourist market near the Pier or the wood carving near the police station. It might be worth it to visit the local market to sample the fruits that are in season. There is the old market in the old part of town and the New Market off Mombasa Road. If you are on self catering and you need any specific directions on any special needs, speak to our receptionist who will be more than happy to assist you.
