From 16th-century forts to white-sand beaches, these are the places our guests love most — all within easy reach of your Sun N'Sea stay.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the Portuguese in 1593, Fort Jesus guards the entrance to Mombasa's Old Port. Wander its coral-stone ramparts, explore the museum of coastal trade and take in sweeping views over the Tudor Channel — a must-see for history lovers.
The iconic aluminium elephant tusks arching over Moi Avenue are Mombasa's most photographed landmark. Built in 1952 to welcome Queen Elizabeth II, the tusks mark the heart of the city — perfect for a quick photo stop on your way to the Old Town and spice markets.
East Africa's largest crocodile farm sits minutes from our Nyali and Bamburi stays. Watch the dramatic feeding sessions, hold a baby croc if you dare, then relax in the botanical gardens and lake-view restaurant. Great family day out, open daily.
Mombasa's revived seafront promenade stretches along the Likoni Channel with palm-lined walkways, street food, baobab gardens and sunset views over the ferry crossing. Arrive in the evening for the cool breeze, fresh cassava crisps and the city lights coming on.
The coast's favourite water park packs slides, a lazy river, a wave pool and kids' splash zones into one palm-shaded park in Nyali. Full-day passes include all rides — an easy way to keep the whole family cool between beach days.
Voted Africa's leading beach destination time and again, Diani's 17 kilometres of white sand and turquoise water are an easy day trip south of Mombasa. Kitesurf, snorkel the reef, spot colobus monkeys in the coastal forest, then lunch barefoot at a beach shack.
A reclaimed limestone quarry turned thriving nature park, Haller Park is right on our doorstep in Bamburi. Feed the giraffes at the 11am and 3pm sessions, spot crocodiles and vervet monkeys along shaded forest trails, and stroll around the serene fish ponds and butterfly pavilion.
