Malindi Holidays – Offering a great combination of relaxation, cultural experience and African adventure
Holidays in Kenya ensure a superb combination of relaxation, cultural exploring and adventure. Some of the resorts on Kenyan coast like Kilifi or Kikambala provide quieter holidays, whereas for a bit more lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere, you need to head to Bamburi or book your holidays in Malindi. This lazy and unashamedly hedonistic beach resort lies 60 miles north of Mombasa. For most the main attraction on their Malindi holidays is the dazzling white sandy beaches that line the shore, however for the more energetic there are also some excellent watersports.
Last Minute Holidays in Malindi – Explore the vast historic heritage of this region
Fishing is another popular pastime on holidays in Malindi. Trips leave early in search of barracuda, tuna and marlin, before the heat of the day sets in. Those wishing to explore the historic heritage of the region might be interested to know that one of the few authentic Portuguese relics left on the coast can be found on the cliffs at the southern end of Malindi harbour - the cross of Vasco da Gama bears the Portuguese coat of arms and commemorates his arrival here in 1498. Visitors on their Malindi holidays are drawn to this resort’s excellent hotels and colourful town atmosphere of market stalls, restaurants and souvenir shops.
