Here’re The Best Hotels In Kilifi To Stay, Eat & Drink
Back in the day, I used to think Kilifi was a ghost town.
When people used to go to the coast they mentioned that they visited Mombasa, Kwale, and Malindi.
Kilifi was not mentioned adversely.
Fast forward, I recently visited Kilifi and to my surprise, I saw a beehive of activities, tourist attraction areas, hotels, and social amenities.
But you can’t compare it with Mombasa or Malindi.
I booked a hotel thinking it was not good. The hotel I booked had all the necessary things you could request.
