Mombasa

A day trip through Mombasa

Kenya is great and can look back on a very moving story with pride. This has made the people very cosmopolitan and, educated and friendly. The culture is actively practiced, and for many a pivotal point in life. Mombasa locals enjoy the good weather and the beautiful scenery and live their lives to the fullest.

Life in the city is full of hustle and bustle and just in Mombasa, the largest commercial city in East Africa, it sometimes goes haywire. Nearly a million people live here, many of them are foreigners.

The city was already founded in the 11th century and was an important trading town ever since.

First, the architecture has been influenced by the occupation of the Arabs and shaped the image of the city. In the 16th century Mombasa fell into the hands of the Portuguese, who also left their marks. Afterwards there were a lot of people claiming the city which led to many fights. This made the city a very diverse place and brought people from all over the world here.

Mombasa has a charming old town, which attracts many visitors and travelers. The narrow streets invite you to stay and nice shops can be found.

We have compiled a great day tour through Mombasa which was designed to get you in touch with the many sights and highlights of the city.

An experienced guide will escort you through the town and show you awesome places, the gigantic tusks, which form an “M” for Mombasa and are the city gate and landmarks are at the same time. The leader knows the city very well and can tell you something exciting and interesting about every sight.

You will also visit the woodcarving village of Akamba. The carving is a tradition here in Kenya and exceptional artistic wood work is done and offered to travelers as a souvenir. The entire village consists of wooden huts, which are very pretty.

Then you will pay a visit to the Castle Hotel and take a delicious and invigorating lunch.

Afterwards you will enter the Haller Park, a unique nature park, created by the humans. Here you will find hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, giant tortoises, numerous colorful birds and more.
