Holidays To Mombasa

An incredibly picturesque coastal town dotted with golden sand beaches and azure blue waters, a Mombasa holiday is the perfect finish to a journey through Kenya. Relax your safari-tired muscles on its pristine shores, dive into its refreshing waters and pamper yourself with a stay at one of its world-class resorts — you’ve earned it. 

Why visit Mombasa?

The most natural thing to do on your Mombasa holiday is to hit its beaches. After all, it’s why travellers from far and wide flock to its shores. Diani beach is known for its fantastic coral gardens, and aquatic life and a snorkelling tour of its waters is the perfect way to witness Kenya’s underwater life. Nyali Beach’s palm-fringed sands are ideal for sunbathing.

Further inland, Haller Park allows you to get up close with giraffes, tortoises, hippos and more — always a family favourite!

If you have still not had your fill of safaris, the Shimba Hills National Reserve is the perfect place to spot elephants, antelope, and an impressive range of birdlife. Set off on a safari or hike to Sheldrick’s Falls — you can even cool yourself under its refreshing waters. 

Lovers of art and architecture will delight in visiting Mombasa’s Old Town. Drop by the 16th century Fort Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site — 

it’s a journey back in time. 

Wander through its tiny lanes and cobblestone alleys, admire Arabic and Portuguese-design influenced buildings, and sip on a cup or two of flavourful Arabic coffee at one of the many chic cafes. It’s also the perfect place for antique and souvenir shopping and to take a little bit of Mombasa back home with you.
