Mombasa and South Coast
(Kenya)
The south coast of Kenya is a superb and varied attraction. Miles of wonderful beaches, palm fringes, and offshore islands are occasionally land marked with ancient Swahili settlements, which still today remind us vividly of the great Arab and Swahili sailors and their rich cultural heritage.
This part of the East African coast along with the Tanzanian seaboard was the main focus for the Arab traders who sailed from Arabia to East Africa and across to India on the monsoon winds. Of course there are modern towns and hotels too and Malindi and Mombasa boast numerous hotels to suit all pockets.
Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya and occupies a stunning setting by the Indian Ocean. The port city is always busy and, like most, split into a business district, main port, old town, and suburban areas.
In and around Mombasa & the South Coast
There are a number of sights to see around Mombasa and some of the architecture is quite beautiful. With a rich past as an important trading port, Mombasa certainly has its charm.
Nearby are a number of reserves such as the excellent Shimba Hills National Reserve.
The hotels located along the coast are perfect for relaxing after a safari. Diving is also excellent with some of the best reefs in the world, and there is a wide range of other water sports on offer.
