For many travelers arriving aboard an international cruise ship, Mombasa is their first introduction to Africa. The excitement of stepping onto Kenyan soil often comes with one important question: what is the best way to spend a limited amount of time ashore?
Fortunately, Mombasa offers something very few cruise destinations can match. Within a single day, visitors can experience an authentic African safari, explore centuries of history and culture, or relax on award-winning tropical beaches.
Tsavo East Day Safari from Mombasa Port
The most popular of all Mombasa cruise ship shore excursions is the Tsavo East Day Safari.
Only two hours from the cruise terminal lies one of Kenya's most iconic wildlife destinations. Visitors regularly encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and buffalo during a full-day game drive.
