Awaiting Your Return From Shore
Located on Mombasa Island, the city can be traced back to the 11th century.
Settlements began to thrive here due to the excellent deep-water harbor and
its protected position.
The most exotic part of Mombasa is the Old Town. Here, narrow alleys
lined by mosques and cramped old houses slope down to the bustling harbor.
Shopping
Vendors offer a selection of arts and crafts on the pier. In the Old
Town you may find beautiful Zanzibar-style chests and carved soapstone
items. The Akamba Wood-Carvers’ Village offers thoUSAnds of carved
wooden articles.
Cuisine
Local cuisine includes excellent seafood and spicy stews and game such as eland, gazelle, and impala. One of the best-known restaurants in East Africa is the Tamarind.
