Mombasa City Attractions

Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya after Nairobi. Mombasa lies next to the Indian Ocean, it has a major port and an international airport - Moi International Airport. The city also serves as the centre of the coastal tourism industry.

Fort Jesus

Fort Jesus is an interesting place to spend a day exploring the gun turrets, battlements and houses within the walls. There is an excellent Museum and trained guides available.

Today the majestic Fort Jesus is a National Monument, standing high over the Mombasa harbor.

The Likoni Ferry
There is no bridge between Mombasa Island and south coast, instead the distance is served by ferries operated by the Kenya Ferry Service from Kilindini and Mtongwe to Likoni in the south coast of Mombasa. As a result of the major build-up of more luxurious hotels in South Coast and a lack of a direct bridge linking the South Coast to the North Coast, visiting tourists have the option of flying directly into the Diani Beach airstrip using the domestic airline like AirKenya and Safari Link.
