CAMC Review

Amazing place to visit.Away from the hustle and bustle of the city in a Serene environment where nature has taken its cause. The detailed explanation from the guides leaves you well informed on its history and the detailed tour is enough for a great understanding of the site. Moreover the place is affordable to all. Spare a date. Just a few minutes drive away is the white sandy Watamu beach and Marine park.

very educative and interesting place to visit.for all kinds of persons.visit and like our face book page : Gedi historical site for more information and suggestions.

Kindly change these working days and hours especially for the Saturday and Sunday. Gede Ruins remains open everyday from Monday - Sunday, even during public holidays.

Local historical place and then there are the prettiest and nicest monkeys in Kenya

Very historic place. Good sites but not well kept. Trash everywhere.

A historic and significant place to visit if at all you happen to be around.

It's a nice with rich history and lots of information. The ruins give a great insight into the knowledge and technology that was employed in construction of the palace. The design shows a well developed and planned structure with security in mind.
The snake park and the vipepeo are rich sources of information and motivation as well as efforts of the locals in protecting the environment.
It's a place to visit again and again.

Nice place to learn more about snakes and butterflies. If you love monkeys, then this is the right place for you.

Gede Ruins are one of the best parts of Watamu. They are deeply interesting and exciting. It is not simply interesting because it is part of Kenyan history but would be interesting no matter where it was. The wells are amazing and the architecture truly illuminating. Gede is a wonderful was to learn Swahili Culture.

Its a great insight into the ancient civilization in the African continent.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. No signs to get there so ask locals!

Beautiful creatures like monkeys can interact with people

Was wonderful, playing with monkeys,viewed different species of snakes and above

its a good historical site for reseachers and history students

Very very beatiul.Helpful guides that explain the history of the ruins elaborately as long as you are in no hurry.
The monkey's make it more interesting when you feed them as they literally jump on your shoulders.They are friendly and all they want is the banana or guava fruit which are bought at the entrance from the locals

Guides are very helpful and knowledgeable, will educate you about the history of Gedi town and you can buy Honey here

Learned a lot. It was mind blowing understanding the history

A bundle of history. I like the Arabuko Sokoke honey.

It's a paradise of Historical monuments of Swahili people abandoned in 17th century,
Snake Park ,
Butterfly Faro
Good Nature Trails 100 plants species and more, butterflies and birds small mammals like the Golden Rumped Elephant Shrew they are shy and hard to spot,

What is this? Not sure why they charge 500 Khs to tourists apart as a money making scam. Shameful

Nice to know the history and discuss the theories. Feeding the monkeys while they climb on your back was scary but they were very friendly. Would advise to go when fresh as there is quite a lot of walking. Ramadhan was such a great guide: knew his stuff.

A must see place in Watamu, I would recommend going the extra mile, and getting a explainer.

The guide is essential to get information on what you see 500ksh. , Entrance 200ksh. Stop and take a 20ina banana (100ksh on the street), to bring the cute little monkeys, and any selfie.

Impressive ruins of 17th century abandoned city. Forest is in the process of reclaiming the land back to the origins. Unique style of tomb pillar in front of the mosque convey they are in the process of conversion to Islam. Small museum gives an idea of the old city and entry ticket for tourist is reasonable at 500 shillings . You can reach gede village from malindi by matatu for 50 shillings.

If you like monkeys, you will like it. With bananas, you will have them on your shoulder or head. It is good to hire the guide there to understand the place better because without knowing its history wouldn'be that interesting. It is not so big.

For history buffs and monkey ape enthusiasts very sociable and very kind

Nice experience.....good initiative from the locals to preserve the forest and start the kipepeo butterfly center.....it motivates you to contribute in preserving our environment.
Kudos!!!

It was a good visit n seeing the ruins but it's hot n tiring.

Excellent guide that speaks Italian very well. Not only ruins, but also flora and fauna. It is advisable to bring bananas or cashews to the monkeys

Very interesting place ! The guide was very interesting and very professional. The friendly monkeys are a plus !

Very touristy, they are not much, but there is an exhibition of snakes and there are monkeys with which to take photos, for the children it is very nice, also considering the cost of about 5 per person.
A nice experience.
Then buying bananas with monkeys you have fun ...

Was taken around by one Grace a tourism graduate who really knew her stuff. Awesome historic place and also awesome wildlife as well.

Lovely destination for history lovers ... all civilizations come to an end ... and so will yours

Good Historical site. You could learn a lot about the coastal history.

What can I say ... thank you very much to the guide Andrea for the story / documentary to Piero Angela! A place you don't expect in the middle of the forest!

Fantastic for history ,architecture and biodiversity.

Its a beautiful site... Old days stuffs maintained todate.... Cool archives
