Mombasa is a coastal city of Kenya and is one of the most popular tourist destinations with a blend of African, Indian, and Arab cultures.
Due to its deep, natural harbours, the city is poised as the hub of regional trade. Its access to the Indian Ocean makes it central to trade between the mostly landlocked East African Region and the rest of the world. The port continues to be a hub for commercial innovation.
The city’s skyline is dotted with dozens of intricately designed, unique infrastructure. Mombasa beaches boast of soft white sands backed by beautiful palm trees. The offshore coral reefs which protect the beach also make superb snorkeling spots cementing the City as a wholesome tourist destination.
Further, no excursion of the City is complete without a visit to Mombasa Old Town, an area that fully immerses its visitors in the rich Swahili culture; and The Fort Jesus, a UNESCO heritage site that adds to the City’s historical appeal.
Mombasa City also hosts a vibrant nature park. The Haller Park is an ecological hallmark. It is a reformed quarry serving as host to different species of plants and animals, some of which are endangered. This remarkable reform of our ecology adds to the appeal of Haller Park.
The City houses the Mama Ngina Waterfront Park that sits on 26 acres overlooking the Kilindini Channel. The park features exquisite landscaping, a state-of-the-art amphitheater, and the Kilindini Cultural Centre.
Mombasa City presents a unique juxtaposition of modern lifestyle and the uniquely preserved Swahili culture. This continues to make it a timeless destination.
