MOMBASA – KENYA
Mombasa is a coastal city in southeastern Kenya along the Indian Ocean. It is the country’s oldest (circa 900 AD) and second-largest city (after the capital Nairobi). Today, Mombasa is a tourism-based city, home to one of the statehouses, with an extra-large port and an international airport. The weather is usually hot and humid throughout the year.
Mombasa is a centre of coastal tourism in Kenya. Mombasa Island itself is not the main attraction, although many people visit the Old Town and Fort Jesus. The Nyali, Bamburi, and Shanzu beaches are located north of the city. The Shelly, Tiwi, and Diani beaches are located south of Mombasa. Several luxury hotels and resorts exist on these beaches, while the holiday homes are located further away.
Mombasa’s northern shoreline is renowned for its vibrant 24-hour entertainment offers, including both family entertainment (water parks, cinemas, bowling, etc.), sports (watersports, mountain biking and go-karting) and culinary offers (restaurants offering a wide range of specialities from Kenya, China, Japan, India, Italy, Germany and other countries)
From Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, Mombasa is accessible via road (8-hour drive), via railway on the Madaraka Express (between 5 hours to 6 hours) or by air (45 minutes)
