Mombasa to Malindi: How do I travel from Mombasa to Malindi?

Well, the most straightforward way to travel from Mombasa to Malindi is by road.
If you want to use public transport, then the place to go is the Buxton (Bakstani) bus station, where the Mombasa to Malindi Matatus pick their passengers. That is also where the Mombasa to Malindi buses and minibuses pick their passengers. So just get yourself to the Buxton bus station, board a Malindi bound bus or a Malindi bound matatu from there, and within 2 and a half hours [or 3 hours], you should be in Malindi.
Some of the matatus plying the Mombasa to Malindi route are under the Faulu Malindi Sacco. Others are under the MOM Sacco (Matatu Owners Mombasa) sacco, whereas others are under the Rahma Sacco. There are some buses plying the Mombasa to Malindi route, including those that are owned by a person known as R.K Issa from Kaloleni. The buses tend to charge lower fares for the trip between Mombasa and Malindi. But they do tend to take much longer to fill up, and they also tend to take longer on the road than the Mombasa to Malindi nissans. But they are good if you want to save money, and if you don't mind spending one extra hour on the trip from Mombasa to Malindi.
En route from Mombasa to Malindi, you will pass by places like Nyali Bridge, Nyali Lights, Bombolulu, Nyali Kenol, Mtwapa, Majengo (where there are EPZ companies), Kanamai, Shariani, Mavueni and Kilifi (which is an important milestone in this journey). Then after Kilifi you would go through towns like Tezo, Chumani, Matsangoni and Gede before finally arriving in Malindi.
