Mombasa Holiday

Overview:

Known as the white and blue city, Mombasa is the gateway to the coast of Kenya and is also one of the best travel destinations in Kenya.

Mombasa is the second-largest city in Kenya and is known for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture. Its beachfront hotels appeal to travellers in search of sun, sand and surf, while its Arab, Indian and colonial European heritage makes for a wide variety of sights to see. Can’t find a taxi? Travel by tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled auto rickshaw.

Visitors can explore the Old Town, which features winding streets, ancient architecture, and traditional markets. Other notable landmarks include Fort Jesus, a 16th-century Portuguese fort, and the Mombasa Tusks, a symbolic representation of the city’s entrance.
