"MOMBASA & THE COAST" Mombasa by sigg

The town of Mombasa is a major sea gateway for eastern Africa and is Kenya's oldest and second largest metropolis. A spectacular coral reef, uninterrupted for 480 km, runs along the palm fringed coastline. The waters below team with marine life while up above a huge diversity of birdlike occupies the mangrove forests or overhanging cliffs.
The beaches of Kenya have become one of the world's great playgrounds, with plenty of opportunities for water sports or simply sunbathing. More than half of the country's international hotels are based along the Coast.

If you are going to the south coast of Mombasa, you have to take the Likoni-ferry. The trip takes just a few minutes, but it can be very buzy during rush hours.
