MOMBASA:
By the 15th century this important port was a thriving, sophisticated city with established trade routes to China, Persia, and India. Today Mombasa continues to be the largest port on the East African coast serving the countries of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Zaire, and of course, Kenya. The population is fast approaching half a million with 70% of African descent and a small minority of Asians and Europeans.

Over the centuries Mombasa has struggled with numerous foreign invaders and hostility. The Portuguese, the ferocious Zimba tribe, and the Omanis have all laid claim to Mombasa since the 12th century. By the late 1800s it became the base of exploration for British expeditions to Kenya’s interior. In 1988, the Imperial British East Africa Company set up headquarters in Mombasa. British rule of Mombasa became official in 1895 when they leased a stretch of the coast including the port city from the Sultan of Zanzibar. Officially this coastal strip still belonged to Zanzibar until ceded to a newly independent Kenya in 1963.

The British affirmed Mombasa’s importance as East Africa’s most vital port when they completed a railway in 1901 stretching from Mombasa to Uganda. 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 harbour. 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.

Fort Jesus is perhaps Mombasa’s biggest attraction as it dominates the harbour entrance. This Portuguese stronghold was built in 1593 to fend off local enemies and Turkish warships. The remains of the fort provide an interesting tour back through history and a small museum features a variety of relics. The Omani House, located in the north-western corner of the fort has fascinating displays on Swahili life and breathtaking views over the old town. Mombasa Old Town features a smattering of styles and traditions common to coastal Swahili villages and late 19th century Indian and British colonial architecture.

Although its history goes back centuries, most of the houses in Old Town are generally no more than 100 years old. Nevertheless, many of these buildings were modeled on ancient Swahili designs and feature intricately carved doors and door frames. The Muslim influence can also be seen in the construction of balconies, their support brackets, and detailed lattice work. This area of Mombasa is well worth exploring walking guides are readily available.

The modern center of Mombasa is the intersection of four major thoroughfares: Moi Avenue, Nyerere Road, Nkrumah Road, and Digo Road. Moi Avenue provides the most interesting opportunity for exploration as it is lined with a double row of souvenir shops and stalls. The city’s most famous land mark is also located here: two pairs of crossed tusks created as a ceremonial arch to commemorate the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. Treasury Square remains the administrative center of Mombasa and features old colonial buildings, the historic town hall, and a charming garden square.

ATTRACTIONS:
The most evocative of Mombasa's many monuments lies at its heart: the hulking bastion of Fort Jesus, built in the 1590's. The 50-foot ramparts house a fascinating maritime museum and echoes of a bloody history, including a siege in which 2,500 people were barricaded inside the fort for nearly three years. The narrow lanes of nearby Mombasa Old Town hark back to gilded architectural era, with intricate latticed balconies, exquisitely carved "Lamu doors", and a host of old mosques dating back as far as 1570. Further north in Malindi, visitors can see a pillar erected by the Sultan of Malindi at the spot where Portuguese explorer, Vasco Da Gama, came ashore in 1498.

Just south of Malindi are the eerie ruins of Gedi, a 15th century Swahili town which was strangely abandoned sometime in the 16th century, whether through invasion or simply a lack of water - no one will ever know. However, Gedi was clearly a prosperous settlement, with a sultan's palace, several mosques and a series of grand coral houses. On the outskirts of Mombasa, is the village of Rabai, where East Africa's first missionaries, Krapf and Rebmann, built a church in 1846 (now a museum) before making their name as the first Europeans to see the 'equatorial snows' of Mount Kilimanjaro and Kenya - a claim that famously met with compete skepticism in the learned corridors of Europe.

Kenya's complex cultures are made simple at Ngomongo Villages, 15 km north of Mombasa, where 10 tribal 'homesteads' form a uniquely miniature exposition in which 10 couples live out their traditional livelihoods: The Taitas cultivating, the Kambas carving, the Maasai herding, the tiny El Molo - "the worlds smallest tribe" - fishing on a miniature Lake Turkana.

Inland from the beaches, nature lovers can find another kind of wilderness, particularly in the stunning Arabuko Sokoke Forest, outside Watamu, where the remnants of a once mighty rainforest that stretched from Somalia to Mozambique provides a protected 40 square kilometre habitat to six globally threatened birds, and an innovative butterfly breeding project is helping to reverse local antipathy towards the forest. As knowledge of the area's precious natural heritage gets out, several worthy conservation initiatives have sprung up, including the Watamu Turtle Watch, which pays local fishermen for rescuing sea turtles caught in their nets.

Perhaps the most impressive natural attraction on the Kenyan coast is the Bamburi Nature Trail, recently rechristened Haller Park after the visionary founder. Located just north of Mombasa, this incredible piece of reclaimed land contains deep forest buzzing with bird, insect, reptile and mammal life - most introduced, some uninvited - on what was once a barren cement quarry. As well as beautiful walks and cycle tracks, the park offers an intriguing insight into the science of this rich and complex ecosystem, in which every tiny plant and creature play a vital part. It also produced 40 tons of fish a year, exports crocodile skins, raises butterflies, and harvests impressive quantities of timber, fruit and organic vegetables.

On the south coast, there are also bountiful natural attractions, including the Shimba Hills National Reserve, where you can see elephant and rare Sable Antelope a stone's throw from the sea, the refuge for beautiful black-and-white Colobus Monkeys at Dian's Colobus Cottage, and the offshore coral gardens of Shimoni, which offers some of the finest snorkelling on the African Coast.
