malindi intrigues

Am always fascinated whenever i go to Malindi.This is one of those  places in Kenya as there is always something new to see,explore and most important eat!
This time i was in Gede ,i few kilo-meters from Malindi town,shooting a documentary on livelihood projects initiated by the community.
Some Gede villagers  have started a crab breeding project down next to the sea at Gede creek which they sell to neighbouring tourist hotels fetching them good money.
One big ass crab can go for as much as Ksh 1500.A wooden board-walk leads the way through the mangrove  trees to a restaurant  overlooking the sea.There a chef always ready to sauce up some delicious crab whether roasted,fried or grilled,however you  want it! its so romantic i tell u!







The place is isolated so there is lots of privacy and you can get a canoe ride if you wish to have some water experience.These rides remind me of the amazon..but thats just me..
at the restaurant



I have heard of Mida creek,a place with similar scenery and with more interesting scenes and stuff to see.Will give you a scoop when i get there!
