Gede Ruins day trip from Watamu

The Gede Ruins are the remains of a medieval Swahili town swallowed by forest — palaces, mosques and wells hidden among baobabs. The site is a short drive from GK Palms.

Allow two to three hours with a guide to understand the layout. Morning visits are cooler. Combine with Bio-Ken Snake Farm or a beach afternoon.

Return to GK Palms for pool time and dinner at The Palms. More day trips in our hidden coves guide.
