Mombasa
Mombasa Kenya’s second largest city and biggest port. It is a multicultural tourist magnet with the British, Portuguese, Arab, Indian, and Asian immigrants adding to the rich cultural mix.
Their influence is evident in the architecture, as well as the many different types of cuisine. As an island, Mombasa is connected to the upcoming development on the mainland by a causeway, bridges, and ferries. Coral reefs fringe the coast for 480 kilometers, providing fantastic snorkeling and diving opportunities, especially at Mombasa Marine National Park and around Wasini Island. Dolphin watching and deep-sea fishing are also popular things to do in Mombasa.
Other attractions include: exploring the 16th-century Fort Jesus and the Old Town with its narrow streets, ancient Swahili dwellings, markets, and souvenir shops. Mombasa’s north shore include Go-Kart, cinemas, sports, and a cornucopia of restaurants. Mombasa is the costal hub and beach lovers enjoy quality time. North of the city, Nyali and Bamburi Beaches are favorites, while the white strands of Shelly, Tiwi, and Diani Beaches are popular spots south of Mombasa.
