Canyons in Watamu is really Marafa, north of Malindi. People call it Hell's Kitchen because the gorges bake at noon.
You walk in with a guide, usually after Malindi's market and a boat to Robinson Island, six to eight hours from about $87 to $131. The story they tell is how the depression formed. Go late if you can, for the light and the temperature. It is not a technical canyon.
Packages that match Canyons in Watamu: Day Trip — Tsavo East National Park, Kenyan Cooking with a Giriama Family, Malindi, Robinson Island and Marafa Hell's Kitchen. Ask which park or marine fees sit outside the starting price.
A full day from the north coast into Tsavo East, the dry park tied to the man-eaters of Tsavo. Plan on eleven to twelve hours, with elephants more reliable than any cat.
