Step into the vibrant, beating heart of Kenya’s coast. Mombasa isn’t just a city; it’s a living tapestry of cultures, histories, and aromas. As Kenya’s second-largest city and its historic coastal gem, Mombasa is an island connected by a ferry to the south and a causeway to the north, offering a world unto itself.
What will truly capture your heart is its incredible diversity. Here, the rhythms of life are set by a blend of native Black Kenyans, Asians, and Arabs—many of whose families have called this coast home for over 500 years. Walk the streets and hear the calls to prayer from mosques, the bells from churches, and see the vibrant colors of Hindu and Buddhist temples. This tour is designed to unravel the beautiful complexity of how these cultures intertwined, helping you understand the soul of this remarkable Swahili coast metropolis.
Mombasa is the second largest town in Kenya and is located off the coast of Kenya. It is connected via a ferry to the south side of Mombasa called Likoni, and a causeway to the north called Makupa. The culture and history of the people and town is remarkable. Mombasa is the most diverse town in all of Kenya; Kenyan's of all ethnic backgrounds and religions can be found: native Blacks, Asians, and Arabs who are Muslims, Christians, Hindu and Buddhists. Most of the time visitors to Mombasa have a difficult time grasping the fact that Asians and Arabs, who are all Africans, but not black, have been living on the East African coast for over 500 years. The history and organization on the tour helps put into perspective how all this came about. On the tour, you will visit the following places: the Fort Jesus, the Mwembe Tayari open-air market, the local bazaars, handicraft carvers, walk through the famous curvy alley-roads, and the business district.
