Mombasa

at a glance

Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya located on Kenya’s Eastern coastline bordering the Indian Ocean, It’s original Arabic name is Manbasa. In Kiswahili, it is called “Kisiwa Cha Mvita”, which means “Island of War” due to the many changes in its ownership. It is served by a modern railway connecting it to the Capital, an international airport, a sea port and a road network currently in the process of been upgraded. The most rapidly developing residential area is Mtwapa towards the North. The history of the city is a mixture of African, Persian, Arab, Portuguese and British influences which contributed to the rich cultures found in the city today. It was originally inhabited by the African Bantu people. Today, the city remains one of Africa’s major links to the rest of the world. Built on a 15 sq km island, Mombasa is surrounded by a natural harbor. The mainland coasts north and south of the city boast a proliferation of tourist resorts. Within the city itself, a traveler has numerous opportunities for exploration and discovery. Remnants of slave trade can still be seen today around the town. Fort Jesus still contains cells where the slaves were held, and various artifacts from that era.
