Gedi Ruins and the nearby Watamu Snake Park (Bio-Ken Snake Farm) offer a combined historical and educational experience. While Gedi Ruins involves walking on uneven archaeological paths, making full wheelchair accessibility challenging, the Snake Park is generally more accessible. Guided visits are highly recommended for both: at Gedi Ruins, a guide unveils the ancient Swahili city's mysteries and history, while at the Snake Park, expert guides provide invaluable insights into the diverse reptile species and conservation efforts. Both attractions are open year-round, though Gedi Ruins is more comfortably explored outside the heavy rainy season (April-June). Each typically charges a separate entry fee for non-residents, generally ranging from $10-15 USD per person per site, with additional costs for guides. Allocate approximately 1.5-2.5 hours for Gedi Ruins to appreciate its historical significance and natural setting (often with monkeys), and 1-1.5 hours for the Snake Park for its unique educational displays and reptile encounters.
