Bofa Beach, at Kilifi has soft white sand and is a haven for sun worshipers and stretches for miles. Aficionados regard it as the finest beach along the Kenya Coast and one of the most idyllic in all the world, unspoilt and less crowded than some of the tourist hotels near Mombasa and along the South Coast.  A beautiful blue and emerald creek is protected by a magnificent coral reef.

Kilifi is an ancient coastal Swahili town, midway between Mombasa and Malindi on the North Side of the creek, about 58 kms from Mombasa International Airport. It is steeped in history and African Culture, famous for the ancient Mnarani ruins dating back to 14th century and the elegant friendly Giriama people.

Overlooking Kilifi Creek from the Southern side, some 200 metres from the Mombasa Road, you will find the old ruins of Mnarani, an ancient coastal settlement dating back to the early 14th Century.

The site consists of two mosques and a group of tombs. The first mosque was built in 1425 although the area was first settled in the early 14th Century.  Mnarani was destroyed by the warring Galla people in the early 17th century. Also at the site of the ruins you will see the largest baobab tree on the Kenya coast. A large hole has been made in the side of the tree where local people leave offerings. Many people visit this peaceful site to picnic. 

Shopping Facilities at Kilifi include a Supermarket, Banks, Post Office, general stores, Chemist, local craft shops, rug making, a daily Fruit and Vegetable Market and a few excellent Restaurants.  The area around Kilifi Township contains some of the best farming land in the district, with livestock rearing and tropical fruit farming as principal activities.

World Class Big Game Fishing, Snorkeling and Scuba Diving along the vast coral reef as well as Water-skiing in Kilifi Creek, are some of the major sport activities. A delightful way to see the Creek is to take a dhow trip. The small Swahili kijahazi dhows visiting the tiny bays and inlets and provide a wonderful photography of the prolific birdlife and scenic surroundings. Regular 'sundowner' trips are a great favorite with the local residents and tourists.
