Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,834 km north-east of Malindi.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Bandarbeyla, about 1,845 km north-east, where totality lasts 2 m 11 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
