You’ll meet your guide at Fort Jesus, please note entrance into Fort Jesus is not included though you can choose to do this at an extra fee. Admire Fort Jesus from the outside and learn about the history.
We’ll drive through Old Town, learning about the narrow lanes, architecture, buildings, cultural norms and meeting some iconic people of Old Town. You’re welcome to visit shops during the experience and stop to hop off wherever you like.
Mombasa is known as the melting pot of Kenya, with a number of different cultures coming together. This is shown in the Old Town Market, with a variety of vendors selling a range of products. Next is the famous Tusks, snap a picture if you wish!
Visit the ultimate chill out spot with an authentic buzz in Mombasa. Walk through Mama Ngina, with the peaceful ocean on one side and busting street food vendors on the other.
Carry a copy of your passport at all times. A water bottle is advisable to avoid buying single use plastic and it can get pretty warm. Also good walking shoes is a good idea.
Of course, the guides have a lot of knowledge and know where is the best to shop. Ask away.
Morning is usually best to avoid hours where it become hot. We’d say 9am – Midday.
This was an amazing experience being driven on a tuk tuk into Mombasa old town. The driver was brilliant and extremely friendly and knowledgeable when it came to talk of history about Arabic rule, Portuguese rule and colonial rule of Mombasa. Some of the historical tales were very touching and some heartbreaking…bit that was history after all
The Travel4Purpose team were absolutely superb. They helped arrange an unforgettable holiday in Nairobi, Tsavo national park and Mombasa. Their prices are very reasonable and they were extremely accomodating for our requests and thus allowed for a very personalised experience. We particularly enjoyed the city tours in Nairobi and Mombasa as well as our safari in Tsavo. Would highly recommend to any future travellers
Thank you Tyson for an incredible Mombasa City Tour! We had a great time and learnt so much. Tyson went out of his way to assist us. Dogo in Fort Jesus was a powerhouse of information! We were really impressed with Travel4Purpose! 👍👍👍
Dogo was a fantastic guide on our tour of Mombasa Old Town. His knowledge was not limited to the surrounding buildings – he was well informed about everything from China’s African foreign policy to the Danish royal family and its history. We saw the main sights of Old Town, but were also taken through narrow streets that we would never have seen without Dogo. Thank you so much!
My solo trip to Mombasa, as organized and planned by T4P was such an amazing experience! From suggesting a great hotel, to handling all logistics and communications for the trip, Sham made my special vacation that much more relaxed. She would check-in each day to make sure I was having a good time.The city tour and bombolulu workshop tour organized by T4P were just fantastic and really unique. I loved spending time with the people at the workshop and learning about the fascinating history of Mombasa during the city tour. All in all, I could not recommend T4P enough!!!
