Well that depends on where you want to go. Downtown Malindi, about 2 miles from Malindi Airport (MYD), can be challenging to drive in. Make it easy on yourself by picking something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. Keep in mind that Malindi is a good base to explore some of the savannahs around Kilifi County. If your vacation is more about clocking up those miles, you may want a ride with a little more trunk space and room to move around. How about an SUV or a full-size car?
