The drive from Moi International to Malindi
The transfer follows the North Coast road all the way through Kilifi and past Gede into Malindi. Travellers flying in to Malindi Airport are only a few minutes from town.
On the way you pass Mtwapa Creek Bridge, Kilifi Bridge and Gede. Weekday rush hours around Mombasa (roughly 07:00–09:00 and 16:30–19:00) can add 20–30 minutes.
Where we drop off in Malindi
Resorts and villas run along the beach from Casuarina and the marine park up through Silver Sands. Mayungu and Mambrui are quieter options to the south and north.
Regular drop-offs include Malindi town, Casuarina, Silver Sands, Mayungu and Mambrui. Once you have settled in, Malindi Marine National Park and Vasco da Gama Pillar are close by.
Good to know before you land
Malindi has its own airport with domestic flights from Nairobi. We can meet you there as easily as at Mombasa.
Uber and Bolt work at the airport, but on a 130 km trip drivers sometimes decline, or ask to switch to cash once they see the luggage. A pre-booked car removes that uncertainty after a long flight.
