About Mombasa

Swahili port city

Kenya’s coast, on Mombasa Island and the mainland around it

Mombasa, Kenya’s coastal capital, is an old Swahili port city where Fort Jesus and the lanes of Old Town meet palm-lined beaches and a deep culture of spice, dhow and seafood.

It anchors the south and north coasts and makes an easy beach extension to a safari.
