House Day Trips
& Safaris from Kilifi
Day
Trip to Mida Creek from Alleyne House Kilifi
Mida
Creek is large, from the spectacular entrance from the
sea, with its dramatic water currents and coral outcrops,
up to the far ends that are a tangled ribbon of channels
and sandbanks, and the ideal places for wetland birds
to feed at low tide.
Approximately
6kms long, the creek has many narrower brackish and
fresher tributaries where the waters are still and clear,
and the mangrove forest is enveloping.
Mida
creek is a large creek lined with mangrove forest and
renowned for its waders, kingfishers and crab plovers.
Bird watching, fishing, mangrove walks, and leisure
boat trips can be arranged by several groups in Watamu.
Water skiing and other water sports are also available.
Dhow
Rides on Kilifi Creek/ Fishing Trips
Big
game fishing is widely available on the North coast.
There are many highly skilled local operators in Malindi.
Hemingway's Hotel in Watamu is a fishing resort with
an excellent international reputation. Excellent boats
with state of the art equipment are available for full
and half day charter.
The
main game fish include Sailfish and Marlin, Kingfish,
Wahoo, Horse Mackerel and others. A tag and release
program ensures eco-friendly fishing. Big game fishing
can be arranged in season (December-March).
Gedi
Ruins
The
Gedi Ruins are one of Kenya and East Africa's great
mysteries. The puzzle surrounding this abandoned town
adds to its haunting beauty that captivates and frightens
locals and tourists alike to this day. It is thought
that the town was founded in the early 13th Century
due to finds like a Ming China vase and Venetian glass.
Gedi was then mysteriously abandoned in the late 17th
Century.
One
reason that this may have occurred is due to tribes
from the north migrating down into the forest where
Gedi lies and forcing the inhabitants out. However the
main puzzle is that there are no records of the town
in Portuguese, Arabic or Swahili scripts.
As
it lies 2 miles outside Watama on the Malindi to Mombasa
road it was close to other settlements, yet no references
have been found to date. Pottery was found from all
over the world suggesting a centre of trade and therefore
the obscurity of Gedi in records is even more intriguing.
The outlay is like a typical medieval Swahili town.
Points of interest are the Palace and Great Mosque.
Also interesting is the amazingly uniform and sophisticated
toilets. Today Gedi is a glorious ruined town that has
intermingled with the jungle.
Watamu
Beach
Watamu
Beach situated 20 kilometers south of Malindi town hosts
a delightful Marine park covering 30 km of coastline.

tropical fish and the tranquil Mida Creek borders an
