  "connection_tips": "Malindi Airport (MYD) is a straightforward coastal gateway, but the practical connection question is whether you are staying in Malindi itself or continuing south toward Watamu and the resort strip. App-based ride coverage can be inconsistent on the north coast, so travelers should not assume the same transport ecosystem they might expect in Nairobi. Keep Kenyan shillings or another workable payment method ready for the first transfer, and confirm with your accommodation whether they can meet you directly at the terminal.\n\nFor town hotels, a short taxi or arranged pickup is usually enough. If your itinerary depends on a safari handoff, marine excursion, or a domestic connection onward through Nairobi, keep some timing margin rather than treating the airport-to-resort road leg as trivial. For travelers connecting to Watamu by public means, the usual pattern is to get into Malindi town first and continue from there rather than expecting a dedicated airport bus.\n\nFor Watamu, the road transfer is longer and is better set up before arrival through your hotel or a known driver, especially if you land after dark or are carrying dive, kite, or family luggage. MYD is small enough to move through quickly, which is helpful, but a lightly banked schedule also means fewer easy recovery options if a flight changes. MYD is an efficient gateway to the north coast, but it works best when the short-airport, medium-road rhythm of the trip has already been planned.",
