"I arrived in Malindi 25 years ago and I've never stopped being in love with this place."
Between safari and bed and breakfast in the marine park, Simone Trentavizi celebrates the silver anniversary with Kenya.
With the brothers Alessandro and Giancarlo, Simone is the owner of Stephanie Sea Resort on the most beautiful beach of Malindi.
