Mombasa Travel Blogs

I was working on a merchant ship that was hauling food to Africa for the United Nations and our ship spent 12 days in Mombasa in the fall of 2008. The captain of our ship arranged a photo safari  to Tsavo with a long time associate of the shipping company in Mombasa, Wilmina Mpapale with Milma…

Mombasa was much more beautiful than i had thought...Had only imagined what it would be like waking up to see the blue ocean very morning uganda being a land locked country......I still live in awe of the scenery and the fun we had.....A group of oveer thirty strangers from all over Africa got toga…

We had to wake up at 9 this morning so that we could get breakfast before heading up north.  The hotel we stayed at was right on the Indian Ocean and we ate breakfast practically on the beach!  There were some guys out there giving some camel rides to people who were up for it.  I wa…

When we wher leaving kenia, we where leaving the green area of Africa.During the flight we saw the landscape change from green to the sandy looks of the dessert.The last part of the trip was looking at sand, sand and more sand.Sometimes we saw a road,or a smal airfoce base, and i was thinking …

Lame lame lame.  After growing a bit of false confidence from eating the meat kebab things in Lamu I deceided to buy some meat samosas off a street seller in Malindi on my coach back to Mombasa.  Never eat anything with meat in that you haven't watched being cooked yourself.  As the …

In May 2007 I went to Mombasa, Kenya! It was a great time, I'll never forget. Saw many animals, visited a little school for orphans, met many nice people, two people got my heart, they invited us in their little house. Go back there once!

So our mate Jay Jay picked us up at 5.30am from out hotel then drove north west for about 2 hours until we arrived at Tsavo East National Park. Being our first safari tour we were both pretty excited. Within 5 minutes we came across a massive herd of elephants standing on the side of the road.…

  The total eclipse was absolutely awesome. Scott and I lingered on Watamu Beach for awhile leisurely packing our camping gear and taking sporadic pictures of the sun's slow return to full form. We hiked out to the road and hailed a matatu back to Gedi, stopping just long enough for an ice co…

This was a really great day out.  Im always a bit dubious about day trips and excursions but this was fantastic.  Visited a wildlife park with some really cool animals, where you could hold them and get up close.  Up to Malinda for some snorkelling in the marine national park. On…

By the end of 1998 I had moved to Mombasa to live with my Hans-Peter. Peter had left Germany a few years back to make a home in Mombasa after several years of working ast the contruct architect for Kenya tourism at the ITB Berlin Travel Trade Fair. Mombasa was an exotic option by the standards of m…

Second visit to the South Coast of Kenya, september 2006. Stayed for the second time in Travellers Tiwi Beach Resort. Made a visit to Voi Safari Lodge, Tsavo East Wildlife Park

Mombasa is the most diverse citiy for it's size that I have ever visited. I suppose that is partly due to Mombasa's very long history and partly due to the location of the city in an important crossroads of civilization.  One of the attractions that was new to me was the Swaminarayan…
