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, local people will welcome us with typical songs and share their way of life. After this welcome, we will proceed to explore the ruins, including old houses, palaces, and mosques located within the forest of Kenya.

You will learn about the fascinating history of this site, which belongs to a Swahili town dating back to the 12th century, peaking in the 15th century before being abandoned, leaving many unsolved mysteries.

After the visit to this archaeological site, we will return you to the meeting point 2 hours after pickup.
