Mombasa Tours
Mombasa is the second largest town in Kenya and is located off the coast of Indian Ocean. Mombasa is a major sea gateway for eastern Africa and is Kenya's oldest city. Mombasa is lined by a spectacular coral reef running uninterrupted for almost 480 kms. The waters below team with marine life while above the sea, a huge diversity of birds occupy the mangrove forests or overhanging cliffs.
The beaches of Kenya have become one of the world's great playgrounds, with plenty of opportunities for water sports, scuba diving and snorkeling. More than half of the country's international hotels are based along the Coast. |
All this diversity of activities make Mombasa a must visit destination on your tour to Kenya.
