Tucked away deep in Malindi, Kenya Marafa hells kitchen is truly a beauty to marvel at.
This geological formation is a series of sandstone cliffs and gorges that have been eroded by wind and rain over time, resulting in a unique and surreal landscape resembling the famous Grand Canyon in the US.
The colors of the rocks represent the compounds that form them. This includes Calcium for the white color, Iron for the red color, and Sulphur for the yellow color.
Marafa is approximately a 40-minute drive from Malindi and approximately a 3-hour drive from Mombasa.
One can reach this destination conveniently if they drive or hire a car since public transport to this place is extremely scarce.
This place is called'' hell's kitchen'' because temperatures tend to spike as high as 40 degrees celsius during the day, these are very hot temperatures so make sure to wear light and breathable clothing when visiting.
Years of erosion have resulted in this marvellous landscape so if you enjoy taking photos, then this is the ultimate paradise for you.
During sunsets and sunrise, the sun's rays hit these beautiful canyons resulting in a picturesque view of these orange and yellow colors.
There are quite several myths surrounding the formation of these rocks but the popular one states that a rich family was living in the area, the family had a barrage of livestock that yielded an enormous amount of milk daily.
This led to the family being spirited and proud to the point where they bathed and washed their clothes with milk and refused to share their abundant resources.
This made their god furious and he decided to bring heavy rain to the land causing it to crumble.

Both arrived the same day.
Melissa royale + Alice bought at Loja Melissa.
Crocs Malindi golden leopard bought last month at e-bay.
A Melissa cagou na modelagem dessa sapatilha, sempre comprei todas melissas 37, mas essa fica tão grande que vôa do pé ao primeiro passo. Tive que socar papel dentro na parte da frente, pra conseguir deixar ela presa no pé. E claro, trocar seria uma saga absurda com despesas de frete, então prefiro fazer alguma adaptação.
O Crocs W7 fica justinho no pé, e é bem confortável, com as bolinhas iguais dos outros modelos mais tradicionais, que reduzem fadiga muscular. Comprei num precinho muito camarada. =) Menos da metade do que cobram nesse modelo aqui no Brasil.
The Marafa Depression, also known as Hell’s Kitchen, is a sandstone canyon in Marafa, outside of Malindi, Kenya. It is locally known as Nyari, “the place broken by itself.” It was once a great sandstone ridge that was eroded away by water and wind into a series of jagged gorges. The layer-cake colors of the sandstone reveal whites, pinks, oranges, and deep crimsons, making the gorge particularly striking at sundown.
In one of the best and purest experience of my life, Malindi was a turning point !!! Adventures, love, life and many other friends!
