8:00 AM – Hotel Pickup
Your guide will pick you up from your Mombasa-area hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The tour starts early to make the most of the day and avoid peak heat.
Begin your day with a walk through Fort Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Learn how this historic fortress protected trade routes and served as a cultural crossroads between Europe, Arabia, and East Africa.
Explore the narrow streets and architecture of Old Town Mombasa, filled with Swahili, Arab, and Indian influences. Stop at the spice market for a sensory tour of Kenya’s most vibrant local trade — cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and more.
Visit two of Mombasa’s oldest religious landmarks — the 1570s Mandhry Mosque and the elaborately carved Jain Temple — both symbols of the city’s multicultural roots.
Browse local shops for handcrafted souvenirs, fabrics, jewelry, and carvings. Your guide can help negotiate and find authentic items.
Enjoy a traditional Swahili lunch (vegetarian options available) at a carefully selected local restaurant. Taste dishes like pilau, samaki wa kupaka, or coconut chapati.
Drive to the famous Mombasa Tusks, built in 1952 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s visit. Then explore nearby landmarks such as Uhuru Garden and the bustling Moi Avenue.
End your day with a relaxing walk along the Mama Ngina Waterfront, enjoying ocean views, cool breezes, and maybe some sweet local snacks like madafu (coconut water) or cassava chips.
You’ll be dropped off at your hotel with plenty of memories, souvenirs, and photos from your Mombasa adventure.
