Description:
Mombasa is Kenya's second largest city and one of Africa's major tourist destinations. The City retains many of its cultural traditions to former Portuguese, Arab and British settlers - all of which have left a lasting influence on the City's food, architecture, and people.
The bulk of the city is located on Mombasa Island, which is separated from the mainland by two creeks; Tudor Creek and Kilindini Harbour. The Island is connected to the mainland by the Nyali Bridge, the Likoni Ferry, and Makupa Causeway.
Fort Jesus was built by the Portuguese in 1593 and sits on a ridge of coral near the entrance to the old harbor.
This is not a recommended port for visiting yachts. Entry costs are very high and there are few facilities. See comment by the Mombasa Yacht Club at the bottom of the page. A recommended alternative is Kilifi.
