From Miritini station to Bamburi
From Miritini the route heads back through Changamwe towards the city before turning north. After Nyali Bridge the route follows the Malindi road north. Most Bamburi and Shanzu hotels are a short turn off the highway towards the beach.
On the way you pass Nyali Bridge and Bamburi.
Skip the crowd at the station exit
Taxi drivers crowd the Miritini exit when a train comes in. Your driver holds a name board, helps with luggage and follows the train’s real arrival time, so a late train costs you nothing.
Staying in Bamburi
All-inclusive and mid-range resorts run along Bamburi Beach and continue north to Shanzu and Serena Beach, reached by short roads off the Malindi highway.
We drop off across Bamburi Beach, Shanzu, Serena Beach and Kiembeni.
After you arrive in Bamburi
Haller Park: Nature trails, giraffes and hippos in a restored Bamburi Cement quarry, a UNEP Global 500 award winner and good for a half day with children.
Resort check-in is usually from 14:00. If your flight lands in the morning, ask us about a stop at Haller Park or a café on the way.
