| Fort
Jesus a landmark in Mombasa |
 |
| A
visit to one of the ancient
hindu temples in Mombasa |
Many of Kenya safaris can begin
from Mombasa |
Mombasa is a place
steeped in history, yet at the same time
fascinating commercial and cosmopolitan
port town. Mombasa is an island
connected to the mainland by bridges and
ferries. The town over looks a wide
harbor, where commercial shipping
mingles with traditional sailing dhows.
The true heart of Mombasa is found in
the exotic old town, among the narrow
winding streets and Arab architecture.
The air here is always heavy with the
scent of spices. Women wearing the
traditional bui bui fill the narrow
streets and busy markets. At the dhow
docks fresh fish and goods from all
along the coast arrive daily.
The streets are alive with the bright
colours of the traditional coastal
khanga and kikoy, the all purpose wrap
around cloth worn by both men and women.
At the waters edge is Fort Jesus, an
imposing fort that stands watch over the
harbor.
The high gun turrets, battlements and
underground passages of this 16th
Century Fort were the centre of a
historic struggle for control of the
Kenya coast between the Portuguese army
and the Shirazi Arabs.
This war was waged around Mombasa over
hundreds of years and countless battles,
and the Fort stands as a testament to
this tumultuous past. Modern Mombasa is
a city of great diversity and life. This
is a town were all are welcomed and
quickly absorbed into this great coastal
melting pot.
Mosques, Hindu Temples and Christian
churches surround streets that thrive
with a world of cultures. Mombasa is a
place where both history and progress
are greatly valued, where a busy harbor
existence is lived at its own unique,
tropical pace.
