Kilifi

Aqua colored water, white sand beaches and palm trees that stretch across the blue sky in Toriana, Kilifi, a Me to We property where we just spend the last 5 days. Kilifi is off the Indian Ocean about an hour and a half from Mombasa a coastal town in Kenya.


We were lucky enough to have great weather and activities every day that really allowed all of us to spend quality time with each other. Beach football to swimming in the ocean and beautiful pool it was a much needed break after a month in the Maasai Mara.


A few highlights include the Gede ruins and snorkeling. The Gede Ruins are the remains of a Swahili town from the 13th or 14th to the 17th century. The town consists of a mosque and several stone houses, excavations revealed the town in 1948 and 1949. The ruins were incredible with wells that dropped down hundreds of feet and a smaller filtration system built into the structures walls were breathtaking.



Sadly the break had to end and we flew back to Nairobi to answer e-mails and prep for the chaos of March trips.
