Mombasa Tour
The high light of the tour is probably the visit to Fort Jesus. Built in 1593 by the Portuguese to guard the entrance to the old Dhow harbour, it is the island’s Landmark. Four hundred years old, the port still stands and serves as a historical museum.
The colourful island town of Mombasa with its blend of ancient and modern buildings on the Indian Ocean is Kenya’s principal port and the country’s second largest city. A comprehensive tour of the island include the old Arab town, with it’s maze of narrow twisting alleys displaying the beautifully curved doors and verandahs, bazaars with curio and antique shops, the Dhow harbour still in use, a Hindu temple, a visit to the Akamba wood carvers and a drive to the bazaar for a short shopping expedition    
                                                          
Full Day – City Tour and Nature Tour                                               
A comprehensive morning tour of the island including a visit to Fort Jesus is followed by lunch at Mamba Village. Mamba is the Swahili name for crocodile and this “village” is really a crocodile farm. Depart after lunch for the Bamburi Quarry Nature Trail.

The Shimba Hills are a short drive from Mombasa. South of the island, they are reached via the Likoni Ferry and are over a thousand feet high which offers one a view of both the Indian
Ocean and the African bush. A visit to the Mwaluganje elephant Sanctuary is highly recommended and is located about 30 minutes from the glistening beaches of south coast. At Mwaluganje elephant Sanctuary you will experience a unique safari in a spectacular landscape. Elephants here never forget   
Like them, you’ll always remember Mwaluganje. The sanctuary's 60,000 acres feature dramatic cliffs and forested hills as well as
