Mombasa is color, tastes, sights, and sounds – an international bazaar. Kenya’s oldest city (900 AD), this buzzing coastal port is an exotic mix of Swahili, Arab, and Portuguese cultures. You’ll come upon the city’s colorful history around every corner and through its narrow Old Town streets.

We’ll explore the ethnic markets with their unique and personal treasures. Discover the varied neighborhoods of Arab, Portuguese, and Asian settlers whose lifestyles have brought cultural vibrancy to this modern city.

During this busy, sensory tour, we will also visit historic Fort Jesus, a monument to Mombasa’s ever-changing rule by numerous marauding nations over the centuries. We’ll also tour Akamba Handicraft to view one of Kenya’s largest wood carving establishments.
