Mombasa and South Coast
Kenya
Back to Kenya Mombasa & South Coast
The southern coast of Kenya is notable for its rich history and former Swahili settlements, its isolated islands, and of course, its beautiful beaches. Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city and coastal entrepot, has a lively atmosphere and charming Swahili architecture, though we recommend a stay in one of the quieter beach retreats or private island lodges outside the city.
