Holidays to Mombasa - Diani Beach Mombasa

What to do in Mombasa

Mombasa is a great place to chill out and do nothing, and works perfectly after an active safari especially. There’s plenty to see and do if you want to explore though - Mombasa City makes a fascinating experience, with a long history of trading and slaves. Visit Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese, and the Old Town, with it's array of shops and markets. If you haven’t been on safari then it’s easy to head inland from the coast to some of the nearby national parks for your fill of wildlife. Mombasa’s North Coast tends to offer more in the way of activities, restaurants and nightlife, while the South Coast is perfect for chilling out on the beach or by the pool.
