Walking Tour Through Old Town Mombasa and Fort Jesus

We want everyone to come to Mombasa, Kenya, and to enjoy the beauty of Africa!

You have to take a picture with the Elephant Tusks in Mombasa. They are on Moi Avenue, and they were commissioned to commemorate a visit of Queen Elizabeth in 1952.

The first mosque in Mombasa is actually right here in the Old Town. Fort Jesus and Old Town, Mombasa are protected by UNESCO as
World Heritage Sites.

This is the entrance to the Spice Market. It’s the oldest market in Mombasa. It was built in 1914 by the British Colony. We get tourists from all around the world who visit the market.

Getting ready for a day we’ll never forget just outside the entrance to the Fort Jesus fort in Mombasa.

It’s no secret that Mombasa can be a little warm. But what’s better than a local beer garden to cool down?

Outside of Fort Jesus you can enjoy your walk and the beautiful wall of Fort Jesus from the 15th century. In just 2011, Fort Jesus became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Another look inside Mombasa’s Fort Jesus, where you can climb watch towers which were used by the Portuguese to protect Fort Jesus.

This is the top of the restaurant called Forodhani, in the Mombasa Old Port neighborhood. You’ll have to stop to see this view after you’ve enjoyed local Swahili or island food.
