The best areas

Shangani

On the western seafront near Forodhani Gardens and the Freddie Mercury Museum, though its narrow lanes mean taxis may stop a short walk away.

Hotels in Shangani

Mkunazini

In the middle of the old town by Christ Church Cathedral and Darajani Market, central but a walk from the seafront.

Malindi

The northern seafront quarter by the dhow yards, a short walk from the Old Fort but further from Forodhani's evening market.
