Gede Ruins Day Trip

We'll pick you up at the Blue Bay IGV Hotel at the indicated time and set off for the ruins of Gede, which are only 15 minutes from the coast.

When you arrive at Gede, you'll be immediately surprised. The local people will welcome us with typical songs and will show us their way of life. After this special welcome, we'll go to the ruins and visit the old houses, palaces and mosques that are hidden in this forest of Kenya.

We'll also tell you the fascinating story of these remains, which belong to a Swahili town whose origin dates back to the 12th century and which reached its peak in the 15th century. However, after this peak, Gede was abandoned leaving many mysteries that remain unsolved to this day.

After visiting this archaeological site and discovering all its secrets, we'll leave you at the meeting point 2 hours after pickup.
