What you can expect

  • Itinerary: Gede Ruins, Kipepeo Butterfly Project & Historical Malindi

    Begin your journey with a pick-up from your hotel. Travel along the beautiful Kenyan coast towards Gede Ruins.

    Gede Ruins: Explore the fascinating remains of a mysterious Swahili town dating back to the 12th century, nestled within a lush indigenous forest. Accompanied by a local guide, discover the ruins of ancient mosques, a palace, and coral-stone houses while learning about the town’s history, culture, and unexplained abandonment. Keep an eye out for monkeys and various bird species that inhabit the forest.

    Kipepeo Butterfly Project: Visit the Kipepeo Butterfly Project near the entrance to Gede Ruins. Learn about this community-based initiative that supports local farmers through butterfly breeding and conservation. Discover how the project contributes to environmental protection and provides sustainable livelihoods for surrounding communities.

    Lunch in Malindi: Enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant in Malindi, at your own expense. Take the opportunity to sample Swahili cuisine while enjoying the coastal atmosphere and, where available, views of the surrounding mangroves.

    Discover Historical Malindi: Continue to Malindi town to explore its rich history and cultural heritage.

    Vasco da Gama Pillar: Visit this iconic monument erected by Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama during his voyage along the East African coast in 1498. Enjoy views of the Indian Ocean and learn about Malindi’s role in early maritime trade.

    Portuguese Chapel of St. Francis Xavier: Explore this historic chapel, one of the oldest surviving European-style Christian places of worship along the East African coast.

    Malindi Old Town: Stroll through the narrow streets and discover traditional Swahili architecture, historic buildings, and the vibrant daily life of the local community.

    Malindi Market: Browse the local market for souvenirs, handicrafts, spices, and other locally made products.

    Return to Your Hotel: After exploring Malindi’s historical landmarks and cultural attractions, begin your return journey to your hotel in Diani or Mombasa.
