Kenya Travel Guide: Mombasa Edition 🇰🇪🌊

Can you really visit Kenya without feeling the Indian Ocean breeze? Here’s my curated list of must-see Mombasa spots (plus a few pro tips!). 1️⃣ Old Town & Ivory Door ⏳ 🕒 Time Needed: Half-day ⭐ Rating: 4/5 🎫 Ticket: Free 📍 Why Go? A vibrant mix of Arab & Portuguese architecture in Kibokoni and Makadara districts. Bustling markets + a historic Chinese money house (yes, really!). The iconic Ivory Door (built in 1952) now forms an "M" for Mombasa! 🐘 2️⃣ Fort Jesus 🏰 🕒 Time Needed: Half-day ⭐ Rating: 5/5 🎫 Ticket: KSh 400 (work visa) / KSh 1,200 (tourist) 📍 Why Go? UNESCO-listed 16th-century Portuguese fortress. Renaissance design with moats + ocean views—history buffs, rejoice! Fun fact: It guarded Mombasa’s port against invaders. 3️⃣ Mombasa Beaches 🏖️ 🕒 Time Needed: 2 days ⭐ Rating: 5/5 🎫 Ticket: Free 📍 Why Go? Diani Beach: Top 10 in Africa (powdery sand + turquoise water). Nyali Beach: Family-friendly vibes. Malindi Beach: Secluded paradise. Pro tip: Work stress? Gone. 4️⃣ Ali Barbour’s Cave Restaurant 🕯️ 🕒 Time Needed: 2 hours ⭐ Rating: 4/5 🎫 Ticket: Free (but book ahead!) 📍 Why Go? Dine 10m underground in a 200,000-year-old coral cave. Stargaze through natural ceiling holes—romantic AF. ✨ 5️⃣ Shimoni Island 🐬 🕒 Time Needed: Full day ⭐ Rating: 5/5 🎫 Ticket: KSh 400 (work) / KSh 1,200 (tourist) + KSh 9,000 (boat) 📍 Why Go? Swim with wild dolphins (1hr drive + 20-40min boat ride). The island feels like Iceland—rugged and surreal. Spoiler: Way better than aquariums! Next Up: Kisumu—the 1,000-year-old city! 👀 #KenyaTravel #MombasaGuide #BeachLife #HistoricGems #DolphinSwim
