Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya, close to the Indian Ocean. It is precisely because of its strategic location that the culture, customs and architecture of Mombasa are influenced by Arab sailors. The Muslim religion predominates here. Tourists who are interested in history and different cultures wll enjoy visiting Mombasa very much.
Your journey to Kenya's second largest city, Mombasa, will begin at around 8am. The departure depends on the current traffic situation and the location of your hotel. We will agree on the exact time and place where to pick you up and we will confirm it a day before the trip. If you come on the tour of Mombasa from Diani Beach, you will take the ferry to the city and as the first thing you visit will be the famous Moi Avenue with its monumental elephant tusks. The tour will continue to the famous Hindu temple Swaminarayan, which is one of the most amazing examples of Hindu architecture in Kenya. After visiting the temple, you will head to the old Arabian port, where you will see traditional Arabic sailing ships called Dhau. They are still used today and they provide trade between the Persian Gulf and East Africa. In the western part of Mombasa is the village of Akamba, which you will also visit. Here about five hundred people from the Batu tribe work. They focus on handmade production of traditional statuettes, masks and other souvenirs. From the western part of the city, you will head directly to the city center for the largest fruit, vegetable and spice market. During lunch you will relax and then visit the Old Town, the most authentic part of Mombasa with its old houses of Arabic architecture, mosques and local markets. One of the oldest buildings in Mombasa is Fort Jesus, built in the 16th century by the Portuguese, as the first fortress to withstand gunfire. Seen from above, the fortress has the shape of a human figure and in 2011 was included amongst the UNESCO monuments. At the end of the tour, you will visit Haller Park - a natural park in Mombasa, where you can feed giraffes, turtles or crocodiles. After an exhausting day full of wonderful experiences, the driver will take you back to your hotel.

Do not hesitate and go on an adventurous cruise to the island of Wasini. Wasini Island is a small island located south of Mombasa towards the border with Tanzania. The island is known for its high coral reefs where beautiful baobabs trees grow. After low tide the most beautiful white beaches are revealed just below these cliffs. As part of a cruise to the island, you snorkel in the marina and with a little luck you can be accompanied on the way by dolphins.

Kilimanjaro is an ice-covered mountain massif, formed by three, now inactive stratovolcanoes – Kibo (5,895 m), Mawenzi (5,149 m) and Shira (3,962 m). It is located in Tanzania and partly in Kenya. Uhuru, in Kibo’s crater, is the highest peak in Africa. The Maasai name of this mountain is Oldoinyo Oibor – White mountain, Swahili name is Kilima Njaro – Shining mountain. Since 1973, Mount Kilimanjaro has been part of the Kilimanjaro National Park, which was declared a UNESCO monument in 1987.
The Lemosho route on the west is considered the best choice. The success rate of reaching the top is up to 95%. The number of tourists is significantly smaller here than, for example, on the Marangu route. It also offers enough time to acclimatise, increasing your chances of success.
The route starts at a lower altitude, you will progress through the rainforest and above it will connect with the Machame route.
