Expert Tips

Mombasa

“Whilst staying on the coast, take the time to explore Mombasa, one of the oldest ports in Africa, it’s history goes beyond the arrival of the Portuguese explorers, back to when Arab dhows used to dock in the Port to trade spices. Close by you’ll find Fort Jesus, an intriguing example of Mombasa’s Renaissance military architecture.”

“The best decision I made during my trip was to visit Mombasa town – take a stroll down the streets of the Old Town, rich in history and filled with a mixture of Arabic, Portuguese, British and Asian culture. If you are visiting Mombasa city, take a locally guided trip. Women may feel more comfortable if dressed conservatively.

“If you’re a foodie, plan a visit to The Moorings in Mtwapa. It’s a fabulous floating restaurant that serves great seafood.”
