Mombasa

Mombasa

Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city, is a sun-drenched coastal gem where centuries of Swahili, Arab, Portuguese and British influence have converged to create one of East Africa's most culturally layered destinations.

Fronting the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Mombasa is the gateway to Kenya's legendary coastline. The Old Town's labyrinthine streets, the iconic Fort Jesus, and the bustling Likoni Ferry are windows into a city that has been a trading crossroads for over a thousand years.

Beyond the history, Mombasa is the launching point for Kenya's most celebrated beach resorts — Diani, Watamu, and Bamburi — where powdery white sands meet coral reefs teeming with marine life. Medical elective students placed in Mombasa enjoy a uniquely coastal clinical experience at Coast General Hospital, one of Kenya's busiest referral facilities.
