Kenyan Coast and Safari

Closest Airports and Tranfers Watamu is situated approx. 30 min drive from Malindi Airport; however most of the flights from Europe to Malindi are quite expensive. I recommend to Fly to Mombasa and then take a transfer to Watamu, it takes approximately 2h to reach Watamu. I have found flights to Mombasa for 350 GBP, ask me for this, I have constant alerts for best flight fares to Kenya. Or you can fly to Nairobi and then take a 30 min internal flight to Malindi, the cost is the same as Mombasa plus 100 GBP for the internal flight to Malindi. Transfer: If you are a group I recommend to book a transfer, usually every hotel has one or a Shuttle bus but it takes more time. I actually know a lot of local guys organizing transfers, please ask me for this, the fares are cheaper and they will tell you stories about Africa during the journey, quite entertaining! Price: from 50 GBP to 100 GBP according to the number of people. Not Recommended: Uber or Public Coach. Is not possible to hire a car and drive, you need to have an African Driver, some Car rentals have this as a service but I will make sure that the driver is an experienced one as the roads are not in good conditions and people drive completely crazy!! the risk of accident is high. Ask me for this please. From Malindi a Taxy/Hotel Transfer, Local guys taxy or if you wan to go African Style, you can take a Matatu, a local bus It is about 5 GBP.

There are plenty of options for the stay from the most luxurious resort to the backpackers ecopark, it just depends on your budget and of the experience you are looking for. I will suggest here below couple of options... Feel free to contact me for more information

I will put here below all the Information regadring the visits and excursion i recommend. I will recommend to do any of this excursion with a local guide, I knew many of them very nice and reliable so you can get the real feeling of Africa and you wont be ripped off by the big tour operators. Usually included in the excursion there are visits to schools, orphanotrophy, and villages to meet the kids and the population that struggles, because this is the real Africa and this need to be seen with our own eyes. This can also be a chance to take them some food, do some charity or leave an offer to improve the water and education system. I usually carry some crayons, clothes , paper for the school but anything will make them happy.

Swahili dishes are quite simple,

In Watamu the Party is always on! Apart of a couple of clubs and restaurants I will list here below, there are loads of beach parties organized by the local people, you can ask when you are around and they will be more then happy to take you there. If you are happy to move to Malindi, I will list some other clubs in that area.
