Mbosso arrived from Mombasa to the resort in a convoy of three luxurious cars with the star riding in a Mercedes S Class with his son.
His mystery baby mama rode on a different car. Mbosso was received by top management of the luxurious resort.
The festival organisers of the fete expected to attract over 10,000 tourists.
Coincidentally devolution Chief Administrative Secretary Hussein Dado who had just arrived at the hotel was also among those who received the Tanzanian superstar.
Mbosso briefly greeted journalists and said he was happy to be in Malindi.
Thousands of revellers and fans of the celebrated artiste are expected to attend the festival on Saturday night.
Here are photos from Mbosso's arrival last night taken by the very able Alphonse Gari, our guy in Malindi. The son and the baby mama were at the airport to welcome him.
