Day 1

Mombasa Day Tour – A Journey Through Time and Nature

Your day begins with a hotel pick-up, followed by a scenic drive into the heart of historic Mombasa. Your first stop is Fort Jesus, a commanding fortress built by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Perched on a coral ridge overlooking the harbour, this UNESCO World Heritage Site carries echoes of centuries past—from Omani Arab sieges to its time as a British prison. It stands today not just as stone and mortar, but as a proud symbol of Mombasa’s layered heritage.

Next, wander through Old Town, where cobbled streets wind past ancient mosques, intricately carved wooden doors, and colourful homes with overhanging balconies. The scent of spices fills the air as you browse bustling local markets rich in culture, history, and life.

Continue your journey with a drive along Moi Avenue, passing under the famous Elephant Tusks—an iconic symbol of the city. A visit to the Akamba woodcarvers introduces you to the skilful hands behind Kenya’s beautiful wooden art. Watch artisans at work and find a meaningful keepsake to take home.

After a leisurely lunch break at a local restaurant (at your own expense), your afternoon unfolds in nature at Haller Park—a green oasis transformed from abandoned limestone quarries into a thriving sanctuary. Home to giraffes, hippos, antelopes, crocodiles, and over 160 species of birds, it’s a place where nature and conservation meet. Enjoy peaceful walking paths, a giraffe-viewing platform, reptile exhibits, and more.

As the day winds down, you’ll be returned to your hotel, carrying with you the colours, sounds, and spirit of Mombasa. It’s more than just a tour—it’s a meaningful encounter with the soul of Kenya’s coast.
