| The coastal town of Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya, with a population of half a million.
Located in the South-Eastern part of Kenya, it plays an important role in the country’s economy, not only for its imports and exports through its port-which is the largest in East Africa, but also as a destination for tourists visiting Kenya.
Mombasa undoubtedly has one of the best white sandy beaches and coral reefs that Africa has to offer. Apart from the beautiful beaches, another unique aspect of this wonderful town is its rich history- the “Old Town” which you can still experience even today in the structures that stand still such as the Fort Jesus.
Mombasa has a kaleidoscope of different cultures and languages. Many of the people living in Mombasa have ancestral roots originating from Oman, Yemen and India. The most common language spoken is Swahili, followed by English.
