The experience

Among Swahili ruins, monkeys and local life

An encounter with the coast’s history, nature and everyday life. The visit begins with the lively monkeys at Gede’s entrance, then continues among the forest-wrapped ruins of the Swahili city. In Malindi, we explore the market, old streets and local crafts through Nero Nero’s perspective.

The programme can change with the season, tides, nature’s conditions and your group’s wishes. Before setting off, Nero Nero defines every detail with you.
