Mombasa

Kenya’s biggest tourism attraction is Mombasa. It is located on Kenya’s eastern coast, facing the Indian Ocean, and its beaches have made it a famous tourist destination. Mombasa is known for its rich marine life, world-class hotels, and welcoming environment. It has a tropical climate all year and is a fantastic location with activities for people of all ages.

Mombasa has been governed by the Portuguese, Arabs, and British from its founding in the 16th century. The city’s culture is still influenced by its history. Historical remains such as Fort Jesus and the Old Town are popular tourist destinations in Mombasa.

Mvita, the city’s heart, is an island in a river delta, accessible from the north by bridges and from the south by round-the-clock boats. It is a fairly multicultural city, and you may witness Muslims wearing the niqab (called locally as “bui bui”) and Giryama people wearing nearly nothing at the same time and in the same area.

It is the only town in the nation that possesses both city and county status, along with Nairobi.

The climate is tropical, with a major rainy season from mid-April to late-May and a small rainy season from October to November. Summer in the Southern Hemisphere occurs between January and March, with temperatures above +32°C. The temperature fluctuation is rather minor at 4° south of the Equator.

Mombasa has a flat landscape due to its location as a beach town. Mombasa is located on Mombasa Island, although it also stretches to the mainland. Two creeks, Port Reitz in the south and Tudor Creek in the north, divide the island from the mainland.

The Kilindini Harbour, Kenya’s sole big seaport, is located in Mombasa, a major trading center. Kilindini is a Swahili word that means “deep.” The port’s name comes from the fact that the canal is naturally quite deep. Kilindini Harbor is an example of a ria, which developed at the conclusion of the last glacial era when the sea level rose and absorbed a river coming from the mainland.

Kenya’s coastal tourist capital is Mombasa. Although many people visit the Old Town and Fort Jesus, Mombasa Island is not a major tourist destination. The beaches of Nyali, Bamburi, and Shanzu are situated to the north of the city. South of Mombasa are the Shelly, Tiwi, and Dianibeaches. On these beaches, there are many luxury hotels, while the less costly ones are farther away.

The northern shoreline of Mombasa is known for its vibrant 24-hour entertainment offerings, which include both family entertainment (water parks, cinemas, bowling, etc. ), sports (watersports, mountain biking, and gokarting), culinary offerings (restaurants serving a wide range of specialties from Kenya, China, Japan, India, Italy, Germany, and other countries), and nightlife (bars, pubs, clubs, discothèques, and so on).

An oil refinery with a daily capacity of 80,000 barrels and a cement plant capable of generating over 1.1 million tons per year are among the other local enterprises. The main intercontinental underwater telecom cables reach the beach near Mombasa, linking the African Great Lakes to the rest of the globe and fueling a rapidly expanding contact center industry in the region.

All of Mombasa’s Internet cafés feature phone booths, although the rates for calling overseas are exorbitant. If you plan on remaining in Kenya for at least 15 days, you should consider purchasing a local SIM card, such as Safaricom’s M-Pesa. Use VoIP if you have a smartphone.

Wi-Fi is widely available in the city, and many hotels and restaurants provide it for free.

Mombasa is a vital transportation hub for all modes of travel. It is the terminus of both the Transafrican Route 8 from Lagos and the Uganda railway. It is served by an international airport, Moi Airport, and one of the most significant ports in Eastern Africa, Kilindini, which also serves as the primary gateway for imports to Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda.

The trip from Nairobi to Mombasa takes around 45 minutes, providing enough time for a refreshing beverage and a glimpse of the Tsavo East National Park. Kenya Airways, the national carrier, as well as the budget carriers Jombo Jet and Fly540 (Five Forty Aviation). Additionally, direct flights from European cities like as Bologna, Frankfurt, London, Milan, and Rome are available, as are flights from Addis Ababa, Zanzibar, Dubai, Kigali, Istanbul, Moroni, and Dar es Salaam.

The train travel from Nairobi takes around 15 hours on the “Jambo Kenya Deluxe,” which is run by Kenyan Railways. One of the attractions of train travel is the opportunity to see animals up close. Each way has three weekly departures: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings from Nairobi, and Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday evenings from Mombasa. You will travel over the fabled Mombasa-Uganda railway, which was completed between 1896 and 1903. First class compartments include two beds, second class compartments contain four beds, and third class compartments contain benches. On board the train, toilets are quite rudimentary. The cuisine served in the train’s restaurant is modest yet produced fresh on demand using only the freshest ingredients. Dinner and breakfast are included with the first class ticket. On board the train, there are police officers for your protection.

While buses are not a primary means of transport inside the city, they are mostly utilized for travel outside the city. Matatu, which are mostly fourteen-seater minibuses, are the primary mode of transportation in Mombasa. They are highly popular with the locals. One-way prices from Nairobi are between KES800-1300 and the journey takes at least 6 hours by bus or 10 hours by night bus. Busscar, Coastline Safaris (Coastbus), Mombasa Raha, Simba Coaches, and Modern Coast Express are among the companies that operate this line.

Kenyans drive on the left, therefore getting used to the local traffic culture will take some time. Drive only during daylight hours and keep your vehicle doors secured, particularly in congested places. Foreign drivers in Kenya are required to hold an international driver’s license. These may be acquired via vehicle clubs, travel firms, or the Nairobi Income Tax House’s Road Transport Office.

• Road Transport Office, Tumbo Ave,  +254 20 4999999, e-mail:callcentre@kra.go.ke.

At the very least, the majority of foreign rental firms are represented at Nairobi Airport. The distance between Nairobi and Mombasa is 525 kilometers, and the journey takes anything from six to twelve hours, depending on the presence of police controls along the route, traffic between Mariakani and Mombasa, and the pauses you take. Voi is a great spot to have lunch (this is also where buses stop).

To get to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and the Athi River, travel route 104 (Huhuru Highway) from downtown Nairobi. Route 109 will take you to Mombasa from there.

In Mombasa, there are no traffic signals, and the traffic will look chaotic to a westerner. Even when police are present, traffic regulations are disobeyed.

In the city, there is no regular public transit. The aforementionedmatatus (minivans), of which there are around 3500 in the city (licensed ones with stickers on the windshields), are the closest approximation. They’re inexpensive; just inquire at the hotel what the prevailing charge is and don’t be taken advantage of. Expect to be jammed in like a sardine since the drivers aim to carry as many people as possible. A matatu journey costs KES25-80 in 2014, but expect to pay twice if you want a vehicle that complies with traffic laws. Mombasa and Malandi are connected by some lines, which take around two hours and cost KES120.

Tuk-tuks (motorized trikes with a passenger compartment), pikipikis (motorcycle taxis), and boda-bodas are available for the more daring (bicycle taxis). The latter two types of transportation are both risky and frightening. A tuk-tuk journey will cost you roughly KES70-100, a pikipiki will cost you around KES50, and a boda-boda will cost you around KES20.

There are also regular cabs, both official and unauthorized, available. Taxis have license papers taped to the windshields rather than taxi signs on the top. After some haggling, the journey is usually paid in advance, and you can anticipate the driver to stop at a fuel station to fill up just enough to bring you to your destination. A taxi from the airport to downtown Mombasa costs roughly KES1000-1600.

Additionally, you may hire a vehicle with or without a driver. If you often need to travel but are afraid to drive, you may generally negotiate prices with taxi drivers for extended periods of time (e.g. one day). This should only be done after a “test ride,” since taxi drivers are not always familiar with the city.

Kizingo: Considered to be Mombasa’s top residential district. Kizingo is home to the Mombasa State House, Provincial Headquarters, Mombasa Law Courts, and the Municipal Council. Additionally, Kizingo is home to the Aga Khan Academy, Aga Khan High School, Serani Primary School, Serani High School, Santokben Nursery School, Coast Academy, Jaffery Academy, Mombasa Primary School, Loreto Convent, Mama Ngina Girls’ High School, and the Government Training Institute (GTI) Mombasa.

Kibokoni: A section of the Old Town that has Swahili architecture. Baghani is home to Fort Jesus.

Kuze: A section of Old Town that is dominated by Swahili culture and architecture. Originally populated by Swahili, the neighborhood is now becoming more multicultural.

Makadara: A section of Old Town that is densely populated by descendants of Baluchi former soldiers who resided here before the region turned into a town. The name is derived from the Arabic term Qadr-ur-Rahman, which translates as “God’s will.”

Ganjoni: Primarily a middle-class residential area, it is also home to Africa’s second largest dry dock, behind the one in South Africa.

Tudor: Another middle-class residential neighborhood, this one featuring residences and businesses. This suburb is home to the Mombasa Polytechnic University College (MPUC).

Nyali: Additionally, it is a prominent and upscale residential district located on the mainland north of the island, connected by the New Nyali Bridge. Numerous beachfront hotels line the “North Coast.” Nyali is divided into two separate sections: the affluent Old Nyali and the burgeoning New Nyali. Nyali has developed into a self-contained residential enclave for many inhabitants, including two Nakumatts, a multiplex theatre, retail malls, banks, schools, and post offices. This often reduces inhabitants’ need to cross the bridge and enter the busy Mombasa city center. Nyali is home to the Nyali Cinemax complex, Mamba Village, the Nyali Golf Club, and some of the Coast Province’s most renowned academic institutions.

Kongowea: Kongowea is a heavily populated region comprised of 15 villages, two sub-locations, with a population of around 106,180 individuals. Kongowea is a cosmopolitan hamlet mostly populated by mainland residents who moved to the city in pursuit of work, primarily in the service and industrial sectors. The neighborhood is near to Nyali, a prosperous suburb that employs a section of the village’s people. They are mostly employed as inexpensive labor as watchmen, gardeners, masons, and home assistance for new construction. While the most well-known villages within Kongowea include Kisumu Ndogo, Shauri Yako, and Mnazi Mmoja, many residents live in substandard conditions – poor sanitation, a high crime rate, and a lack of basic essential amenities such as schools, hospitals, and running water – despite their location in this prime area. Kongowea is also home to one of Africa’s biggest open-air marketplaces.

Bamburi: Bamburi is also an outlying settlement along the Malindi route (fifteen minutes). The Bamburi Portland Cement Company is headquartered in Bamburi. Additionally, the neighborhood is home to the Mijikenda public beach, affectionately known as Pirates, and Haller Park, which contains a nature walk and animal conservatory. Kiembeni Estate, which is likewise located in the Bamburi region, is home to around 100,000 inhabitants. The estate has a supermarket, many retail establishments, hairdressers, and boutiques, as well as a handful of licensed establishments. The Shilla Bar, Turkey Base, Stars Garden, and Sensera bar are among the venues. Kiembeni is undoubtedly the biggest estate in Mombasa, and it is expanding at a breakneck pace.

Other places include Shanzu, Mkomani09, Bombolulu, and Kisauni, as well as the famed Mtwapa region, which is already part of Kilifi county.

The North Coast is well-known for its diverse entertainment sector, which draws both residents and visitors.

Likoni: Likoni is a low-income and lower-middle-class district on Mombasa Island that is accessed via boat. It is located south of Mombasa Island and is populated mostly by non-Swahili Bantu groups. The boat was one of the targets of the 1997 Likoni Riots.

Diani Beach: Diani Beach is a beach resort area located on the south coast of Mombasa, just across the Likoni Ferry. It is situated around 36 kilometers (22 miles) south of Mombasa on the mainland shore and is a popular destination for both domestic and foreign visitors. Diani Beach has an airport near Ukunda town to accommodate visitors arriving straight from Nairobi Wilson Airport or any other airports or airfields in the nation.

Magongo: Magongo is an outlying settlement located on the Nairobi Highway, 20 minutes northwest of Mombasa Island. This outlying village lacks functional power, water, and sewage facilities, as well as a general dearth of infrastructure. Poverty, a lack of sanitation, and unemployment continue to be the township’s primary concerns, resulting in substandard health and safety standards for its population. Housing for the poor and lower classes is ubiquitous, ranging from modest two-story stone constructions to mud and earthen structures with corrugated iron roofs.

Due to a dearth of jobs and industry, a large portion of the population works outside of the municipality, on Mombasa Island. There are a few tiny health clinics and businesses, as well as a few public primary schools: Nazarene primary is one such school, which is particularly well-known for its rotating volunteer teaching base from Western, and mostly English-speaking, countries. This little village connects the city to Moi International Airport. Magongo also serves as the headquarters for the Akamba Handicraft Cooperative.

Mikindani, a suburban area: This is an outlying community along the Nairobi Highway on the mainland. It is located in Changamwe’s heavily industrialized areas and mostly houses the working class who work in the factories, the town center, or the port at Kilindini bay.

Miritini: Miritini is an outlying community on the Mombasa Nairobi Highway that is developing first as a suburban neighborhood.

Changamwe: The industrial region is home to the Kipevu power production plants, the Kenya Oil Refinery Company, and housing developments such as Chaani. It also serves as the entrance to the Moi International Airport. The region is home to the D.O.’s administrative offices and chiefs who serve the administrative division.

Migadini & Chaani: Migadini and Chaani are two adjoining estates situated east of the Airport Road and east of the Kenya Port Authority. They are bounded on three sides by Port Reitz, Magongo, and the KPA.

Port Reitz: Port Reitz is a mainland suburb with a beach, oil refineries, and housing developments. Port Reitz is home to Moi International Airport and the Port Reitz District Hospital.

TRANSPORTATION

Given Mombasa’s turbulent past, it’s surprising that there are just a few attractions. Nature and a variety of diverse activities are what attract people to Mombasa. Additionally, there are a few landmarks located between 20 and 30 kilometers north, west, and south of Mombasa.

Fort Jesus

Fort Jesus Rd, +254 720 650869. daily 8:30-18.

Fort Jesus is Mombasa’s most popular attraction. Built between 1593 and 1596 by the Portuguese to defend the port from the Ottomans, this fort served in a military capacity for more than three centuries. It was named after the Portuguese squadron that sailed under the Order of Christ’s banner (Ordem de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo). Since 2011, the fort has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fort Jesus houses antiquities from the time when Mombasa served as a slave trade transit port. There are torture chambers, jails, and several more 16th-century exhibits. The fort served as a jail during the British time, and currently a portion of the cells serves as a museum. Numerous artifacts are on loan from the Portuguese frigate Santo António de Tanna, which drowned in 1697. They include African and Indian ceramics, Chinese porcelain, various crew items, and two bronze cannons. Another section of the collection is devoted to archaeological discoveries made along Kenya’s coast. Additionally, there is Arabic military equipment, musical instruments, and a collection of 18th and 19th century cannons. A 105mm cannon from the Imperial German Navy is on display in the tiny park next to the entrance. As of 2013, KES1500 (adults) and KES750 (children).

Old town

Old town, Districts of Makadara and Mzizima. Situated along Tudor Creek north of Fort Jesus, these areas make up the old city. It is an example of classic Swahili architecture with a considerably more calm environment than the rest of the city. Much of it has been turned into souvenir shops and restaurants and here you may discover artisanal boutiques offering silver jewellery and tiny furniture. If you are scared about getting lost amid the little streets or don’t want to miss anything, there are guides at the esplanade of Fort Jesus that can tour you through the ancient town for KES1000. A lovely area to explore on a Sunday when most of the city is closed down.

The tusks of Moi avenue

Moi Ave(near Uhuru Garden).

The tusks were constructed in 1956 to greet Princess Margaret on her visit to Mombasa town. Today, they are arguably of Mombasa’s most recognizable monuments. They are positioned at the city’s entrance and are constructed of steel, not ivory, as is frequently assumed. Notable is the fact that the tusks form an M. (which stands for Mombasa).

Leven House

Leven Residence. This structure served as the headquarters for the British Navy’s anti-slavery activities in the area throughout the nineteenth century. It was named after a British battleship. Later, missionaries, a shipping firm, and a consulate utilized the building. Today, this ancient structure houses a restaurant.

Holy Ghost Cathedral

Nyerere Ave.

The neo-Gothic structure in the heart of Mombasa is a recognizable landmark and the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mombasa.

Haller Park

Malindi Road, Bamburi,  +254 41 5485901. 8:30-17:30.

A 75-hectare zoological park built on the place of a former coral reef in 1985. Giraffes, hippos, monkeys, and reptiles are among the animals. Owen and Mzee are two well-known animals in the park. The first is a hippopotamus orphaned by the 2004 tsunami, while the second is a turtle who “adopted” the juvenile hippo, much to the scientists’ surprise. Between the hours of 14 and 15, when the animals are fed, is the optimum time to visit. English, Spanish, French, and other languages are spoken by the guides. Keep an eye out for the monkeys; they’re plentiful and look nice, but they may bite. As of 2013, KES1600 was used.

This “sustainable eco-cultural tourism hamlet” is a replica of nine distinct Kenyan tribes’ ecosystems. The property was built on top of a quarry that was reclaimed by nature in 1991 via the planting of several indigenous plants.

Several nations have issued warnings that the city center is unsafe at night, that carjacking is common, and that robberies on the beaches after sunset are possible. When it comes to your surroundings, use common sense and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Taking pictures or filming airports, banks, military locations, police stations, soldiers, or police personnel without authority is frowned upon — if not downright forbidden — in Kenya, as it is everywhere in Africa. In general, you should ask individuals for permission to photograph them. Keep an eye out for pickpockets and don’t flaunt valuable devices while strolling. When driving, whether during the day and at night, keep the automobile doors closed.

The police are present in public locations, particularly in tourist destinations such as Mvita and the beaches. Security guards patrol public venues such as airports, post offices, banks, and shopping malls. Similarly, upper-class residences and apartment complexes are patrolled 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Following the Kenyan military’s participation in Somalia, the terrorist group Al Shabaab has launched a series of assaults around the nation, including several in Mombasa. If you’re on an outdoor patio, avoid sitting adjacent to the road. You should also avoid riding matatus, leaving any place where there are continuous protests, and visiting the slums without a guide. Before venturing out on your own, check with the hotel personnel to see which places are safe.
