ITALIAN PODCAST

History of Italians in Kenya 2, today the first episode

The birth of tourism on the coast and Italian Malindi

03-02-2026 by redazione

The Podcast degli Italiani in Kenya (Podcast of Italians in Kenya) returns this Tuesday with the series that was a huge hit in its first season: La Storia degli Italiani in Kenya (The History of Italians in Kenya).
Starting today, every week, the second season will recount the birth and evolution of Italian “mass” tourism on the coast, especially in Malindi, which from the late 1980s became a veritable Italian “colony” on the shores of the Indian Ocean, and Watamu, which is now Kenya's leading seaside tourist destination.
Who were the pioneers?
Who bet on the future of African holidays, and who arrived with other intentions and reinvented themselves, who fled at a time when Kenya was a good hiding place, and who brought their Italian professionalism, contributing to the growth of the place and also of the local population. With many anecdotes, behind-the-scenes stories, epic, paradoxical, and significant stories.
All this, with the narrative style of the creator, screenwriter, and narrator of the podcasts, and with his original soundtracks.
Enjoy listening (in Italian language) and... safari njema, have a good trip!
