Tourism

Kipepeo Centre is located within Gede Ruins National Monument. These are the ruins of a medieval Swahili town and are a must visit for any tourist in the Watamu and Malindi area.

The butterfly house provides an interesting counterpoint to them. Visit the Butterfly Exhibition and admire the colorful butterflies of Arabuko Sokoke and other forests while you learn of their importance to local livelihoods and conservation.

On Monday and Thursday mornings meet and talk with farmers as they deliver pupae and honey to the Market Place. Also see how the honey and silk cloth are processed at the facilities.
