Karibu Mombasa
Mombasa is Kenya’s coastal city, often called the White and Blue City. Its heart is Fort Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose coral-stone walls, ancient cannons and museum tell the story of centuries of Portuguese, Omani and British rule along the Swahili Coast.
Beyond the fort, the coast offers palm-fringed beaches, snorkelling, deep-sea fishing and marine safaris. Tell us what you want from your time here and we will shape the trip around you.
