During your trip to Kenya, visit one of the important port towns on a day trip to Malindi. Uncover the bustling market and its links with Vasco da Gama!
Malindi Day Trip
From Hotel Blue Bay IGV in Watamu, we will travel to Malindi, located along the Galana River, the second largest in Kenya. After a 30-minute drive, we will reach this historic port town.
We will first visit the Malindi Museum, also known as the House of Columns. Here, exhibitions include underwater archaeology along the Kenyan coast and information about the Mijikenda tribes.
The next stop will be the pillar dedicated to the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, erected in the 15th century to honor the commercial relationship between the two countries. This location also offers a stunning view of the Kenyan coast.
During the tour, we will visit the Portuguese chapel, the first Christian church in East Africa, and explore the city market, engaging with local products and the population.
Finally, we will allocate 30 minutes of free time for further exploration of the market and trying traditional dishes. We will conclude the excursion by returning to Watamu, arriving three hours after pickup.
