Centuries of coastal history along a working port city
Mombasa County
Mombasa is Kenya's second city and its historic coastal heart, where Swahili, Arab, Portuguese and British influences layer into one dense old town.
Beyond the history, Nyali and Bamburi's beaches and Haller Park's rehabilitated quarry-turned-nature-park give the city a green, coastal side too.
