Originally built in the 12th century, the present-day structure of Gede Ruins dates from the 15th and 16th century. This site features large stone houses in addition to a mosque and palace; researchers believe that the town--which remained undiscovered until the 1940s--once supported 2,500 people. The walled city represents a medieval Swahili settlement that likely covered and also features a pillar tomb, which signified a man of importance was buried there.

I spent a morning walking through the Gede ruins and surrounding Nature trails, we had a local guide that made things more interesting and he told us about the History of Gede, I enjoyed the outing...

We had a great tour and our guide was very knowledgeable on matters history and the great city. The insights on culture, business and relations back are mesmerising. Coupled with the other areas I.e butterfly farm and snake park... Would definitely recommend

This is a historic site, you get a guide at the gate that takes you around and explains everything. There are monkeys that you can take pictures of if you give them snacks, feel free to bring your own snacks like nuts or bananas or give the guide money to buy them outside. I find Gedi ruins to be one of those beautiful places that I can and have always gone back to. It is very photogenic and a great representation of nature when well taken care of.
