Must-see attractions
Malindi Museum
Malindi
　　Part of the Malindi Historic Circuit, this moderately interesting museum has some displays on underwater arachaeology along the Kenyan coast. Upstairs, you can delve into the world of the nine Mijikenda tribes that inhabit the coastal region between Tanzania and Malindi, and learn how they worship, whom they exorcise, and...
Malindi Pier
Malindi
　　This long tongue flicks out into the Indian Ocean. It's a low-key highlight of a stroll along Mama Ngina Rd. On weekends, families wander arm-in-arm and kids dress up and pose in makeshift photo studios. ...
Malindi Marine National Park
Malindi

Marafa Depression
Malindi
　　One of the more intriguing sights inland from the north Kenyan coast is Hell’s Kitchen or Nyari (‘the place broken by itself’). About 30km northeast of Malindi, it’s an eroded sandstone gorge where jungle, red rock and cliffs heave themselves into a single stunning Mars-like landscape. You can take an...
