Malindi

Set along Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, Malindi is a town whose character is shaped by monsoon winds and centuries of maritime exchange. The Sabaki River reaches the ocean just north of town, while beaches and coral reefs form part of the local coastal setting. Malindi developed as a Swahili port trading with merchants from across the Indian Ocean; its Old Town still reflects that heritage in narrow lanes and mosques. The Vasco da Gama Pillar commemorates the Portuguese navigator’s 1498 visit, and Malindi Marine National Park lies offshore.
