A little story

Friends in Watamu since 2010

Marafiki means friends in Swahili. We are a Watamu-born team, and an extraordinary adventure in Kenya is what we put together for every guest.

“We love showing people the beauty and great experiences of our country, so that your holiday is unique and memorable.”

Our story

Since 2010 we have been specialising in hospitality and tours. As Watamu-born native Kenyans, our life’s passion is organising tours, excursions, safaris and community-based programmes.

With us you can book any of our tailor-made experiences, have a wonderful time and, at the same time, make a positive difference to the communities of the Watamu–Malindi region.

Our drivers and guides have a deep understanding of Kenya’s terrain, nature and wildlife, and they speak English, Italian, German, French and Swahili.
