Mombasa safaris are very popular when it comes to Kenyan tourism. Kenya is not a landlocked country like many countries in Africa. His Indian Ocean coastline is very important to these other countries, as well as to himself. Mombasa happens to be the second largest city in the country besides Nairobi and is located on the island of Mombasa. It has many perfect white sand beaches to the north and south of the city. Since Mombasa is next to the Indian Ocean, it has a major port and international airport to assist tourism and other economic activities. If you want to come to the Kenyan coast, you have to learn important things about this city and the neighboring areas.
Arrival and search for beaches – Tourists arrive in the city on cruise ships or by plane. This depends on where a tourist arrives in Kenya. Most tourists from some Asian countries that have an Indian Ocean coastline could reach Kenya by boat. Visitors coming from the US, Europe and other distant world destinations arrive at Mombasa Moi International Airport by plane. As soon as they arrive, most new visitors find their favorite travel agent waiting at the port or airport to pick them up. Usually they are taken to various spas. Before your trip to the Kenyan coast, you may want to book a hotel on the northern or southern beaches. The beaches to the north of Mombasa include Kenyatta, Bamburi, Shanzu and Nyali and those to the south are Diani, Tiwi and Shelly. Upon arriving at your beach resort, you will discover that there are other smaller beaches within the larger ones mentioned above. Unless you have come to Kenya before, you should not try to locate these shores alone. However, if you are a true explorer, you can take the risk.
Things to do – As in any other coastal city, activities such as diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, fishing, sailing, kite flying, and sunbathing, among others, are very common. The northern and southern beaches are extremely crowded with foreigners and locals, especially during the high season. Even shopping is one of the main activities because there are many street vendors selling unique souvenirs. Nightlife is also a very exciting thing to do during a tour of the coast. There are several clubs, casinos and pubs that you can visit and have a good time. Also, you can blend in with the coastal communities that mostly speak the Swahili language. There is much you can learn from them, including their traditions and way of life. Visits to various tourist places will be included in the Mombasa Kenya safari travel package.
