3 Days 2 Nights Malindi-Watamu Getaway (SGR Deal)

Your coastal adventure begins with a smooth, scenic train ride aboard the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Nairobi to Mombasa. This package is designed for total convenience, covering all the essentials:

Transport: Return SGR train tickets from Nairobi to Mombasa, plus comfortable transfers from the Mombasa station to your chosen resort on the coast.

Accommodation: Two nights' stay in a beautiful beachfront resort in either Watamu or Kilifi, with a range of options from relaxing retreats like Medina Palms to family-friendly resorts like Turtle Bay.

Meals: Daily meals are included, with some resorts offering half-board or all-inclusive plans so you can enjoy delicious local and international cuisine without worrying about extra costs.

The coastal towns of Watamu and Kilifi each have a distinct and alluring personality, ensuring an experience tailored to your preferences.

Watamu is a true paradise for nature lovers and adventurers. Fringed by the protected Watamu Marine National Park, it boasts crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral gardens teeming with over 500 species of tropical fish. Here, you might spot the "Marine Big Five": sea turtles, whale sharks, dolphins, whales, and billfish. Beyond the ocean, you can explore the ancient Swahili ruins of Gedi, take a sunset dhow cruise on Mida Creek, or even visit a local turtle rehabilitation centre run by Watamu Turtle Watch.

Kilifi, in contrast, offers a more laid-back and tucked-away vibe. It is famous for the stunning Kilifi Creek, where you can enjoy peaceful kayaking, paddleboarding, or a magical sunset cruise. For a touch of history, the Mnarani Ruins provide a glimpse into the region's Swahili heritage. Its wide, white-sand beaches and calmer atmosphere make it perfect for total relaxation.

Your days are yours to design, whether you prefer utter relaxation or thrilling adventures. Here are just a few ways to spend your time:

Marine Adventures: Go snorkeling or diving in the Watamu Marine National Park, take a glass-bottom boat tour, or join a "Safari Blue" boat trip to spot dolphins and enjoy fresh grilled seafood on a sandbank.

Cultural Exploration: Immerse yourself in local life with a traditional shoe-making workshop, a cooking class, or a village walk to learn about coastal Kenyan culture and traditions.

On Land: Visit the Gedi Ruins, take a nature walk in the Arabuko Sokoke Forest, or simply relax on the pristine white sands.

This package offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and choice. With all logistics taken care of, you can fully unwind and enjoy the warm rhythm of the Indian Ocean, knowing you have access to incredible experiences and exceptional service. It's an ideal getaway for couples, families, and solo travelers seeking a quick but rejuvenating break.

Hop on the early morning SGR train from Nairobi to Mombasa or Mariakani, where a driver will be waiting to whisk you away to the coastal haven of Watamu, Kilifi, or Malindi. Think serene beaches, shimmering turquoise water, and that unmistakable easy-going coastal vibe. Once you've checked into your resort or hotel, the rest of the day is pure freedom—swim, doze under a palm tree, or wander the beach at sunset. Dinner is a treat: fresh-off-the-boat seafood and aromatic Swahili dishes that will have you coming back for more.

Rise to the sound of waves, take your time over breakfast, and then head out for an adventure that fits your mood. Fancy underwater wonders? Snorkel or take a glass-bottom boat in the Watamu Marine Park. Prefer history? The Gede Ruins are a must-see. In Kilifi, a boat ride along the creek is pure magic; in Malindi, you can visit the Vasco da Gama Pillar, explore Old Town, or catch sunset at Hell's Kitchen. For thrill-seekers, kite surfing and deep-sea fishing are on the table too. Come afternoon, it's all about kicking back on the beach or treating yourself to a spa moment before dinner.

Make the most of your final morning; dip your toes in the ocean one last time, pick up handmade souvenirs from local artisans, and soak in every last bit of coastal calm. After breakfast and checkout, you'll be driven back to the SGR station for the train ride to Nairobi. It's a short trip, but the feeling of sun, sea, and sand will stay with you long after you've left.
