The question whether Malindi is Malindi safe for tourists or not has been in the mind of many tourists especially with news outlets both locally and internationally reporting incidents of terror attacks in some parts of the coast of Kenya, especially in Lamu County. The distance between Malindi and Lamu is approximately 137 kilometres on a straight line. This puts Malindi town or its environs very far away from places with terror activities. Moreover, hotels have invested a lot in security over the last few years to ensure that the safety of their guests is guaranteed.
