Hi the bus trip is about 2 hours to be honest on a good day.
Atms there is a barclays bank in the town center and lots of forex's there keep an eye on the rate (£-ksh) travellers cheques may be a bonus for you.

Malaria its always advisable to take them before you come out, avloclor worked for me and are about £1.90 a box rather than the rip off ones the doctors give you.

I was in Malindi last week you will have a great time if you need any other info give me a bell at kiparakibongi@yahoo.co.uk i will be more than happy to help.

Definately take malaria tables, we had the "expensive" ones- malarone, we had no side effects ( 9 of us) but choose whichever ones you wish, just make sure you take some, there is a lot of malaria there, my brother in law has malaria - believe me - you dont want it!
