Tour description

Welcome, fellow adventurers! I'm excited to share with you the hidden gems of Mombasa, Kenya.
Join me on a journey through the city's fascinating history and vibrant culture with this tour.
As we begin our adventure, we'll explore the heart of Mombasa's old town, which dates back to the 12th century. We'll wander through its narrow alleys, marvel at the intricately carved doors, and admire the beautiful architecture that blends African, Arab, and Portuguese influences. 

You'll discover the stories behind the landmarks, such as the Fort Jesus Museum, where you'll learn about the Portuguese invasion and the famous Mombasa Tusks symbolize the entrance to the city.

Our tour continues to the bustling markets of Mombasa, where you'll be immersed in the colorful sights, sounds, and smells of the city.
We'll pass by the spice market
and see the different spices that have been traded in Mombasa for centuries. You'll also visit the fish market, where you can witness the local fishermen bringing in their catch of the day.

But that's not all; our journey takes us to one of the most spectacular and unique tourist destinations in Mombasa, the Haller Park. Here you'll discover the beauty of nature with a visit to the wildlife sanctuary, home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including giraffes, zebras, and crocodiles.
You'll also learn about the park's conservation efforts to protect the environment.

Leider entsprach die Tour nicht der Beschreibung. Das Fort Jesus wurde nicht besichtigt. Die Altstadt wurde kaum besichtigt und dann sind wir auch noch Zielsicher ab den Highlights der Altstadt vorbei gelaufen, was wir erst hinterher feststellten. Kaum bzw keine eine Informationen zu irgendwas.
