Gede
Gede
Gede village is on the seaward side off the main Malindi Road and a short distance before Watamu. It contains one of Kenya’s most important monuments, the Gedi Ruins, 20 km south of Malindi, home of an Islamic civilization which disappeared mysteriously about three hundred years ago. The ruins were gazette as a monument in 1927 and became a National Park now a National Museum (45 acres) in 1948.
The ruins make an interesting half day excursion are surrounded by a thick coastal forest where the Blue monkey, Yellow baboon, Black and white colobus, and Black-faced vervet monkey can be seen.
