About Mombasa
Mombasa is Kenya's oldest city and its only major port — a vibrant, multicultural hub where centuries of Swahili, Arab, Portuguese, and British influence have left an extraordinary cultural imprint. At its heart lies the UNESCO-listed Old Town, a labyrinth of carved doorways, mosques, and bustling spice markets that feels timeless against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese in 1593 and now a World Heritage Site, stands guard over the harbour. Beyond the city, Mombasa's coastline stretches north and south — Bamburi Beach to the north offers world-class resorts, water sports, and the famous glass-bottom boat reef tours, while the south coast's quieter shores include Diani Beach. Mombasa is the natural gateway to Kenya's coast and an ideal complement to any upcountry safari.
