AAMS30 Mombasa Beach Break – 4 Nights (ST41)

Day 1 Mombasa (D)

Arrive in Mombasa where you are met and transferred to your choice of beach hotel.

The British affirmed Mombasa’s importance as East Africa’s most vital port when they completed a railway in 1901 stretching from Mombasa to Uganda. Today, the city remains one of Africa’s major links to the rest of the world. Built on a 15sq km island, Mombasa is surrounded by a natural harbor. The mainland coasts north and south of the city boast a proliferation of tourist resorts. Within the city itself, a traveler has numerous opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Overnight at Whitesands or Mombasa Serena Beach Hotel.

Whitesands enjoys the longest seafront on the North Coast of Mombasa, featuring one of the finest beaches in East Africa.

The Serena Beach Hotel provides an oasis of tranquillity whilst delivering a unique mix of high-action water sports, sybaritic sun worship, world-class cuisine and vibrant nightlife.

Day 2 - 4 Mombasa (BD)

Enjoy three full days at leisure. A variety of optional excursions are available.

Fort Jesus is perhaps Mombasa’s biggest attraction as it dominates the harbor entrance. This Portuguese stronghold was built in 1593 to fend off local enemies and Turkish warships. The remains of the fort provide an interesting tour back through history and a small museum features a variety of relics. The Omani House, located in the north-western corner of the fort has fascinating displays on Swahili life and breathtaking views over the old town. Mombasa Old Town features a smattering of styles and traditions common to coastal Swahili villages and late 19th century Indian and British colonial architecture.
