Gede Ruins Day Trip

We'll pick you up at the Blue Bay IGV Hotel at the indicated time and set off for the ruins of Gede, located 15 minutes from the coast.

Upon arrival at Gede, you'll be welcomed by the local people with typical songs and will observe their way of life. Following this welcome, we will visit the ruins, including old houses, palaces, and mosques hidden in this Kenyan forest.

We will share the history of these remains, associated with a Swahili town that originated in the 12th century and peaked in the 15th century. After this peak, Gede was abandoned, leaving many mysteries unsolved.

After exploring this archaeological site and uncovering its secrets, we will return you to the meeting point 2 hours after pickup.
