Malindi.

Getting into Malindi from the airport

Malindi is Kenya's Italian-influenced coastal town beside Watamu's marine park. The arrivals run is the point in a trip where unfamiliarity costs the most, so a driver booked in advance at an agreed price removes the negotiation entirely.

What a transfer costs

Airport transfers in Malindi typically run US$4–55 depending on distance and vehicle. Where a driver is booked through Cabana the figure is fixed at booking, there is no surge multiplier, and Cabana takes nothing from the driver, so the fare stays with the person driving.

Cabana has no Malindi drivers listed yet. Driver sign-up is free and commission is zero.

Where drivers will take you
