Explore the history and culture of Mombasa on a guided tour. Visit the Fort Jesus, walk through the narrow streets of the Old Town, and see the elephant tusks. Enjoy a local lunch and visit the Haller Park.
Start your tour with a pickup from your hotel and head to the Fort Jesus. This is Mombasa's oldest museum and it depicts the culture and the origin of the local people, mentioning the origin of Swahili. With a guide, trace the historical pattern leading to the influence of the sultans.
In addition, learn the culture of the local people through different exhibitions. Enjoy a walk in the narrow streets of the Mombasa Old Town, passing through the famous fish market before driving to see the elephant tusks as a monument of the ancient (now illegal) ivory trade.
After, walk in the market with lunch at a local restaurant to sample the local cuisine. After lunch, be taken to the Haller Park. This is not a zoo but a free-roaming animal sanctuary born out of the idea to conserve a big old vast former cement quarry.
See lots of animals and depending on your excitement, spend between 2 and 3 hours here. After, be dropped back to your hotel.
