<Unleashing Prodigies and Picturesque Landmarks, Touch the Heart of Africa through Kisiwa Cha Mvita, Mombasa>
How often do you leave your area? Or have you already concluded that road trips are not for you?
Maybe you didn’t enjoy your last. But can we try again? And this time, with Treepz’ luxuries.
What do you say about a trip to the coastal city of Mombasa City in Kenya?
In this article, we will help you discover Mombasa, and why you should embark on a thrilling road trip with Treepz to the White and Blue City filled with mesmerising beaches, nature-inspired islands, and mind-boggling history.
- Let’s take our first walk into history
Mombasa is replete with many site attractions that awe visitors. From the crossed giant elephant tusks at the entrance of Moi Ave in Mombasa, visitors are first given a warm welcome that brings back a reminiscence of beautiful history.
History has it that the giant elephant tusks were a commemoration of the royal entry of Princess Margaret of England into Kenya, in 1956.
You don’t want to miss the details of Fort Jesus, a fortification and landmark that dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries history of the Kenyans.
Fort Jesus was a haven for the Kenyans during those years when other sovereign nations tried to have control of Kenya. It was during this era that they coined the name Kisiwa Cha Mvita translated into ‘Island of War’.
Today, we have a heritage site, a museum that is made of lime mortar and coral; a good stance for your quick selfies and group pictures.
Wouldn’t you love to re-live history by exploring these heritage-rich sites?
- Now to Diani Beach, where there are no boring moments
The magnificent Diani Beach is located in the southern part of Mombasa, along the Indian Ocean.
Its turquoise blue water, flour-texture clear sand and lush view of almost-living palm fronts earned Diani Beach a global recognition as one of the best beaches in the world.
With exciting activities ranging from sunbathing, swimming, and water sports like scuba diving, and fishing, you can explore muscle-relaxing hobbies or discover new ones at Diani Beach.
You also don’t want to leave the beach without having a taste of sumptuous Kenyan sea meals at Lymington’s, or perhaps you could patronise the popular Swahili Pot for a plate of mouth-watering meat sauce.
The perfect climate weather conditions at Mombasa make Diana Beach appear like a paradise on Earth.
- How about going for a shopping spree?
Ensure you visit the shopping malls and stores of Mombasa with a shopping list, otherwise, you might end up exceeding your budget.
Mombasa’s malls and stores are filled with irresistible artwork that depicts Kenyan history and culture.
Let’s begin our spree from Old Town, which houses Mombasa’s most popular tourist attraction: Fort Jesus.
You can get original Kenyan couture, dazzling jewellery and enchanting fragrances, all at affordable prices.
If your cultural taste is in statutes, wood art and traditional clothing, the Akamba Wood Carving Factory and Biashara Street are a must-visit.
At Biashara street, you can browse a line of tailor shops and either window shop, interact with the locals, or get yourself a traditional African clothe. How exciting?
As soon as you’re done with all your buyables, a time-savouring lunch at the City Mall in Nyali would be another way to unwind from the stress of rummaging through town for your best gift shop.
The second floor of the mall is a simple but exquisite restaurant where great Indian and Chinese dishes are served.
- A glimpse into the wild won’t be bad either
Are you interested in wildlife? Then, there is the Tana River Primate Reserve for you. It is a safe enclosure for wildlife animals like Chimpanzees, gorillas, hyenas, and of course, elephants.
Talking about elephants, did you know that red elephants exist? How would you feel if you saw one in real life? Head on to Tsavo East National Park, which is the only place in the whole world that houses red elephants.
Amongst these red giants are other large animals like lions, buffaloes, hippopotamuses, crocodiles and over 500 species of birds.
