Mombasa is a coastal city with a centuries-old history, a gateway to Kenya’s rich coastline culture and a vibrant mix of Swahili, Arab and Portuguese heritage. Here the rustle of palm trees, the noise of the Indian ocean and the narrow streets of the old quarters are intertwined, where each stone keeps the history of sea trade routes. The atmosphere of the city is both relaxed and bright, and the surroundings offer both a beach holiday and unforgettable safaris and excursions.
Man-made sights in the region deserve special attention: the legendary Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese in 1593, stores fortress walls, museums and dramatic pages of colonial history. In the vicinity are ancient Swahili settlements, such as the ancient city of Lamu and the island of Pate, with architecture retaining traces of Arab influence. Lovers of religious and cultural history will find interest in Gurdwara’s Sikh temple in Makindu, and modern natural-transformed sites such as Haller Park in Bamburi district show how humans can bring back the lives of rugged land.
The natural pearls around Mombasa are astoundingly diverse: Tsavo Vostochny National Park is one of the largest in Kenya, where endless savannahs and meetings with representatives of African fauna open; mangroves around Pate Island and the Lamu Archipelago create unique ecosystems; coastal reefs, white beaches and private reserves like Salt Lick offer safaris, bird watching and marine life. For more distant adventures, the Turkana region and Lake Turkana will bring the harsh beauty and cultural diversity of northern Kenya.
