The island of Mombasa - Kenya’s second largest city - is full of contradictions. It is a city which has a casual, laid-back approach to life thanks to the hot and humid climate, yet, at the same time, it is an exciting and vibrant city with a cosmopolitan population and a rich cultural heritage which has earned it the title of ‘melting pot’. Jam-packed with attractions, shops, restaurants, cafés, and bars, the city centre is a real tourist magnet. There are top class hotels in the North and South Coast Beaches with restaurants featuring international cuisine. Moi Avenue is where all the action is - see the world-famous tusks, catch the latest Hollywood blockbuster at the Kenya Cinema or get a caffeine boost at Mombasa Coffee House. If you fancy delving a little deeper in to the city’s fascinating heritage, head for the Old town way of the impressive Fort Jesus. Mombasa is One of the most famous Swahili towns in Africa famous for its cultural heritage and colorful street festivals rich with traditional song and dance.
