The
coastal city of Mombasa is one of Africa’s major tourist
destinations, with some of the best beaches in the
world. Located on Kenya’s Eastern coastline bordering
the Indian Ocean, Mombasa has become popular for its
exotic beaches, diverse marine life, world-class hotels
and friendly people.
Mombasa has
undoubtedly one of the best white sandy beaches in
Africa. The warm waters of the Indian Ocean cater to all
types of tourists: those looking for a quiet swim, a
place for kids to play, deep-sea fishing, and water
sports activities such as scuba diving and sailing. When
coupled with its large selection of beachfront hotels,
Mombasa becomes an ideal place for a vacation.
In
addition to its beautiful beaches,
Mombasa offers a diverse cultural
history. The City traces many of its
cultural traditions to former Portuguese,
Arab and British settlers – all of which
have left a lasting influence on the
City’s food, architecture, and people.
Tours of the town, safaris in game parks,
and camping trips can all be included in
your vacation plan.
Nightlife
in Mombasa is always exciting, and the
City offers many dance clubs and casinos
that cater to a variety of entertainment
tastes. Or, you can always catch a movie
at the cinema, go bowling, or grab a
drink at the local pub.
Mombasa is also home to a variety of
different languages, the most common
being Swahili and English. Most visitors
- particularly those who speak German,
French, or Dutch - will also have no
problems communicating in the City.
Similarly, there is diversity in the
cuisine available to visitors, including
a host of quality restaurants offering
everything from British, Chinese, Indian
and Italian cuisine, to a variety of
local and traditional Kenyan dishes.
Given its ocean-side location, seafood
options are abundant and outstanding and
can often be eaten within a couple of
hours of being caught.
