Kilifi County, Administrative division on the Kenyan coast, Kenya
The county spans across 12,245 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including coastal beaches, mangrove forests, and inland agricultural territories along the Indian Ocean.
The region transformed from a merger of Kilifi District and Malindi District in 2010 to gain official county status in March 2013.
The Mijikenda people form the largest community in the county, maintaining their traditional practices through sacred forest sites called Kaya.
Kilifi County connects to Mombasa through a network of roads, with the Kilifi Bridge serving as a central link between the northern and southern sections.
The KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme in Kilifi conducts extensive studies on malaria and childhood diseases, contributing to global medical knowledge.
