This is nothing new and is not from this year that those who live in Malindi, Watamu and Mambrui're noticing as the period from mid-September to late October is by far the one that sees affiacciarsi to the Kenyan coast fewer tourists coming from  Western World.
Even less than there are in the rainy season, which is longer and less hospitable climatically (but only apparently) but has several admirers and also sees the marine excursions of those who come to the Great Migration in the savannah or because it is really offers advantageous.
The beginning of time is always "low season", although the weather is finally back in place, the wind has been declining and with it the sudden passage of clouds bearers of sudden as short showers. Now the sun is shining and the ocean is in Malindi to Watamu offers exciting colors of blue and is fresh and clean.
If anything, the novelty this year is seeing a lot of activities that earn notoriously well during the rest of the season, closed for holidays.
And we are not referring only to hotel or certain services for the restaurant or Italian boutique, but also local traders, the Indians or the Arab world, which have lowered their shutters and expose cartels in which warn customers that keep two or three weeks of vacation.
Towards the last week of October and everything will return to normal in early November we will have the first arrivals of the many holidaymakers who come to spend the winter for several months and the first tourists who will want to temperate climates and sea, in a slow and gradual increase that will take us to the Christmas festivities that are expected from reservations, happier and more profitable last year.
