Full Day Mombasa City & Old Town Tour

10 Hours

Overview

Mombasa is a sensory experience of heat, spice, history, and sound. Navigating this coastal hub on your own can be overwhelming, especially when trying to coordinate transport between the island and the mainland while managing entry tickets. That is where a structured approach makes all the difference. We strip away the logistical stress, allowing you to focus entirely on the architecture of Old Town and the stories behind Fort Jesus. Our Full Day Mombasa City Tour allows enough time to actually walk the narrow streets and engage with the environment. You get to interact with wood carvers at the Akamba cooperative and smell the fresh cardamom at Marikiti Market.

  • Fort Jesus Museum
  • Mombasa "Tusks" (Pembe za Ndovu)
  • Old Town Walking Tour
  • Marikiti (Mackinnon) Market
  • Akamba Handicrafts
  • Haller Park (Optional)
