Malindi & the Kenyan Coast

Alfo Safari's home base — turquoise lagoons, coral reefs, and the dramatic sandstone gorges of Marafa.

Malindi and nearby Watamu sit along one of East Africa's most beautiful coastlines, with protected marine parks, coral reefs, and warm Indian Ocean waters year-round.

Beyond the beach, the region is home to the striking Marafa Depression — known locally as Hell's Kitchen — a canyon of carved sandstone cliffs in vivid shades of red and orange.
