Top 5 Things To Do In Malindi

To spice up your family’s August vacation, check out these tourist attractions places.

1. Gedi Ruins

The Gedi Ruins are located deep inside the lush green forests of Arabuko-Sokoke and near the Indian Ocean basin. 

The ruins used to be a town, founded in the 13th century. 

Though scientists and researchers didn’t find any hard evidence of settlement in these ruins, what makes them fascinating is the unusual development of the medieval town and its seemingly sudden desertion of it. 

The Gedi ruins are a site of great archaeological interest and are a perfect destination to visit for explorers in Malindi.
