Mombasa Travel Essentials
Kenya's tropical coast — white sand beaches, Swahili culture, and Indian Ocean reefs
Mombasa is Kenya's second city and the gateway to East Africa's finest beaches. The island old town — with Fort Jesus (UNESCO), carved Swahili doors, and spice-laden alleyways — has been a trading port for over 2,000 years. South of the city, Diani Beach stretches 17 km of powder-white sand consistently voted Africa's best. North, the marine parks of Watamu and Malindi offer world-class diving. Mombasa is also the perfect beach extension after a Kenyan safari.
