4 Days Mombasa and Diani Experience

Upon arrival in Mombasa, you’ll be met by your guide and start your coastal adventure with a brief city orientation tour. Visit Fort Jesus, a 16th-century Portuguese fortress that stands as a historical icon of Mombasa’s past. Continue through Old Town, where winding streets, ancient Swahili architecture, spice markets, and beautifully carved doors reflect a blend of African, Arab, and European influences.

Next, stop by the famous Mombasa Tusks on Moi Avenue — a symbolic landmark built to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to the city. You’ll then transfer to your beach hotel in Nyali, where you can relax and enjoy the ocean breeze.

Dinner will be served at your hotel as you settle in for your first night on the coast.
