Discover the splendid Kenyan coast

Contrast Kenya's heady wildlife experience with a visit to its magnificent coast. Mombasa is equally intoxicating and alluring, with its 2000-year-old history and culture, characterized by a blend of Indian, Arab and African influences. Wander through its fascinating bazaars saturated with the scent of myriad spices.

Get a feel for the city's strong Indian population as you explore the impressive Shiva temple with its golden spire and interesting sculpture garden and the Swaminarayan temple with its ornately carved doors and paintings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology.

Explore the remains of the 16th century UNESCO World Heritage site of Fort Jesus. Glimpse into the city's past as you take in the frescoed interiors, Arabic inscriptions and Swahili embellishments inside.

After all, that history and spirituality, relax at one of the city's many pristine white beaches, complete with azure waters and swaying palms.
