🇰🇪 Kenya Travel Diary | Mombasa Getaway

Finally sorted my October trip to Mombasa! Here’s the lowdown: 🚂 Train Adventure Nairobi → Mombasa: 5 hours (slow but scenic! 😄) Ticket prices: 3000 KES (adult), 1500 KES (child) Pro tip: Have your driver collect tickets a day early & arrive 1hr before departure (security checks + boarding starts 30mins prior). 🏨 White Sands Beach Resort Room rates: 26,000 KES (double), 21,000 KES (single) (sea view costs extra!) SPA treat: ~6000 KES (perfect post-train unwind!) Meals: Breakfast & dinner included | Lunch à la carte (pasta ~1500 KES, kids’ meals ~1000 KES) 🌊 Water Fun 🤿 Snorkeling: 2000 KES (adult), 1000 KES (child) *(+ park fee: ~300 KES work permit holders, ~1000 KES others)* 🦀 Tide Pooling: 8-9AM (wear strong sunscreen!). Locals may guide you—tip ~1000 KES if helpful. ⚠️ Parent hack: Don’t do snorkeling + tide pooling same day—exhausting with kids! 😅 🦓 Haller Park Mini-Safari Small but fun for animal sightings! Entry: ~3000 KES total for 3 (work permit discount). Haggle if paying full price! Taxi: 300-500 KES from resort. #MombasaVibes #KenyaWithKids #BeachLife #BudgetTravel🌊
