    Walking is the most common way of "transprtation" in Kenya, everywhere I was lots of people were out on the roads. There exists local bus service, besides matatu, but not that frequent as in Europe. Locals are used on walkings even if distances between places not short at all. Is it the reason why I couldn't see any overweight women or men, in fact, most of Kenyans are slim or slender in shape.

    Matatus, the local variation of shared minibuses are actually much cheaper - but I must say I decided against: they were more than overcrowded - usually with a couple of people standing on the open door and gripping firmly on the roof. let's say they did not look neither comfortable nor safe, especially because of the high speed. There are plenty of taxis around - but they are geared towars foreigners - hence the prices aren't as low as you would expect - not even after bargaining - but if you can share it, it's not too bad. As a rule of thumb, however, the prive listed for a one way trip, can easily become the one for a return trip, including waiting time. No comment about the state of the cars: they are rustying away and are falling apart - at one point we drove into a mud pool and water entered the car from the bottom - leaving us laughing and with wet feet.

  • If you intend to travel to Malindi by public means you can catch a bus from the area in Mombasa called Bondeni, the buses leave from in front of the New Peoples Hotel. There are both buses and matatus, for some reason the Mombasa to Malindi matatus are localy called "Saa robo" I don't know why coz it takes longer than 1/4 of an hour to get to Malindi, usually 2 hours.
