Mombasa Tour
At around 7:30 am (depending on your location), our driver guide will pick you from your hotel and proceed towards Mombasa.
The one day Mombasa City Tour will start by a visit to Akamba hand craft which is the largest wood carvings industry and market in Kenya. Here you will learn a lot about the wood carvings and get to see amazing grafts.
Thereafter, you will have a visit at Fort Jesus which was built by the Portuguese in 1593 by architecture from Goa. The facility later became the government prison during the British colonial period in 1947. It was built mainly for protection and to control the harbour of Mombasa. Fort Jesus was named fort because the Portuguese were Christians and they sailed with the flag of Jesus. There was a war between the Arabs and the Portuguese from 1593 – 1729 where many of them died due to starvation and yellow fever.
Continue exploring the old town to walk along the narrow streets and visit the old harbour, where you will see the old Arabic boats and one of the oldest mosques found near the old harbour. Then we will proceed to the market, where you will learn about the food spices, local foods and vegetables. Afterwards, we will proceed for lunch at restaurant within the city.
After lunch, you will tour the Haller Park, where you may feed the giraffes, view the crocodiles and hippos feeding as well as visit the Nguuni Nature Sanctuary where you will immerse yourself in nature as you will walk through the Acacia woodland discovering families of giraffe, ostrich, oryx and elands wandering through their natural habitats.
In the late afternoon we will take you back to your hotel.
