Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Malindi, winding through open savannahs, palm-dotted landscapes, and quiet Giriama villages. As you approach Marafa, the earth begins to shift in color—hints of rust-red and ochre marking your arrival at this otherworldly canyon.

Upon arrival, a local guide welcomes you and leads you on a gentle walk through the dramatic formations, explaining both the geology and the cultural folklore that has shaped Marafa’s mystique. You’ll explore narrow paths, stand beneath towering pinnacles, and marvel at the intricate shapes carved by centuries of wind and water.

As the sun begins to sink, the true magic of Hell’s Kitchen reveals itself—the rocks catch fire in shades of crimson, gold, and deep orange, creating a breathtaking canvas. You’ll find a peaceful spot to soak in the view, enjoy a quiet moment, and capture stunning photos of this natural wonder before heading back to Malindi under a blanket of stars.
