Malindi, Kenya
How is in comparison to rest of East Africa's coast (Zanzibar, Mombasa etc)? Anything to worry about in particular?
Feral beach boys? Malaria mosquitoes? Somalian terrorists? Civil unrest? Anything?

malindi isn't safe anymore, all the italian expat retirees propping it up died or went home

it is not comparable to zanzibar or mombasa

if you want 'laid back east african beach resort vibes', then try diani beach south of mombasa, which is well removed from the somalian border and secure by comparison

In what sense? It's more dirty? Locals are more scammy or unpleasent?

I couldn't find anything on terror attacks. I found only this, rather amusing thing:

Some magic, religious shit, but it seems no mzungus were involved in any way.

However google found two old Germans killed, 10 years apart:
