  • Join me as I explore the rich culture and traditions of two beautiful coastal towns in Kenya, Shela and Malindi. In Shela, I capture the serene beauty of the dhow boats sailing during sunset, immersing myself in the tranquil atmosphere and admiring the picturesque views. Witness the captivating sight of these traditional sailing vessels gracefully gliding through the shimmering waters, painting a breathtaking backdrop against the setting sun.
    In Malindi, I invite you on a vibrant shopping journey through the bustling local markets. Dive into the vibrant tapestry of colors and scents as we navigate the vibrant stalls filled with a wide array of goods. Immerse yourself in the world of fabrics, where you can learn about the intricate patterns and designs that hold cultural significance. Discover the perfect traditional dress that embodies the essence of Kenyan fashion, and indulge in the experience of acquiring handmade sandals crafted with care and skill.
    But our journey doesn't end with the sights and sounds; it's also about the incredible people we encounter along the way. I have the pleasure of engaging with the friendly locals, who graciously share their knowledge, stories, and insights about their country. They offer a glimpse into their way of life, customs, and traditions, leaving me enriched with a deeper understanding of Kenya's rich cultural heritage.
    Experience the magic of Kenya's coast with me as we delve into the hidden gems of Shela and Malindi. Discover the allure of these captivating towns, steeped in history and brimming with unique experiences. From the tranquil beauty of Shela's dhow boats during sunset to the vibrant markets and warm hospitality of Malindi, each moment is an opportunity to connect with the essence of this remarkable country.
    Join me on this immersive journey and let the beauty and warmth of Kenya's coastal towns inspire you to plan your own adventure. Uncover the treasures that await along the shores, indulge in the flavors, immerse yourself in the local culture, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

    Zann! We normally see you further off the beaten path but I absolutely loved watching this. It looked like this was a refreshing few days for you and we all need to take time and recharge. The Kenyans are amazing! Their smiles, laughter, and energy had me smiling. And you know how I feel about beaches and water 😍❤

    What a change of scenery!! I understand why you thought you had picked the wrong spot…..touristy looking, really beautiful, but still “local touches”. The shopping looked great. I would have have wanted more time with the treasures from the ocean (shells, etc.). The people seem soo friendly and very happy to see you. I’m sure your gorgeous smile won them over. I am so amazed at how many people speak good English! I look forward to your next visit to another island off the coast of Kenya.

    • @ZannParker
      @ZannParker  Před rokem

      Haha yes, I thought of you immediately when I saw the shells! The people in Kenya are very friendly and English is their second language. It definitely was a treat to be able to have conversations one on one. Shela and Malindi are definitely destinations for people wanting some relaxing beach life and still have the options of having a little adventure. The dhow boats were a huge highlight in my trip ⛵️
