Kilifi is a relatively safe area. However, like many travel destinations, it is always important to stay vigilant as a solo female traveler. Locals are generally friendly and helpful but avoid walking alone at night in deserted areas. Be aware of local customs to show respect and avoid offending anyone. Avoid flaunting expensive belongings in public to not draw unnecessary attention. Consider taking a taxi during the night for added safety.
Kilifi is currently ranked #11 safest place in Kenya for solo female travellers, with an overall safety rating of 3 out of 5. . Check the full ranking.

How safe is Kilifi for women?

Not so safe after dark, so avoid walking after dark. Have a Tuktuk guy on speed dial to get you to and from places, or a taxi guy.
As long as you are not alone outside after dark, you should be fine.
