Mombasa offers interesting things to see, beaches to relax on and beautiful nature reserves to visit.

Mombasa lies on the coast and is a bustling city with a history stretching back to the 12th century.

At the Shimba Hills National Reserve, you will encounter a lovely forest setting with elephant, leopard and the rare, sable antelope.

Towards the south, there are a number of beaches and resort hotels.

On the pleasant Shimoni and Wasini islands there is authentic Swahili culture and a protected marine reserve. North of Mombasa there are also several beaches like Nyali, Bamburi, Shanzu, Kikambala and Vipingo.
