    The food is good, the atmosphere is excellent and the staff is very friendly. You also get to see a very nice part of Mombasa. The only thing I think is that it is better to have lunch than dinner, because the boat leaves at 18:30 and by 19:30 it is nighttime and you cannot see the landscape. You should leave a little earlier, or as a better option opt for the midday tour.

Mombasa Tours & Activities | Discover Kenya's Top Coastal City

Mombasa is a vibrant coastal city in Kenya known for its white sandy beaches, rich Swahili culture, and lively markets. With its mix of African, Arab, and European influences, this port city offers travelers a unique blend of history, stunning architecture, and tropical flavors. Whether you're seeking relaxation by the sea or a dive into fascinating traditions, Mombasa is the perfect getaway in East Africa.

Historical Insight

Founded over a thousand years ago, Mombasa has long served as a crossroads for traders from Arabia, Persia, India, and Europe. The city’s historic Old Town, famous for its narrow winding streets and intricately carved doors, echoes its multicultural past. Fort Jesus, a Portuguese fortress built in the late 16th century, stands as a testament to the city’s strategic significance through the centuries.

When to Visit

The best time to explore this destination is during the drier months from July to October and from January to February, when the weather is sunny and perfect for beach activities. The rainy seasons, especially from March to May, can make some roads less accessible.

Is it safe to travel there?

Mombasa is generally a safe city for tourists, particularly in popular areas and resorts. As with any destination, it’s wise to stay aware of your surroundings, avoid isolated spots at night, and keep valuables secure.
