Malindi has been a Swahili settlement since the 14th century.
Once rivaled only by Mombasa for dominance in this part of East Africa, Malindi has traditionally been a port city for foreign powers.
In 1414, the town was visited by the fleet of the Chinese explorer Zheng He.
Malindi’s ruler sent a personal envoy with a giraffe as a present to China on that fleet.
