Top 10 Day Trips from in Mombasa, Coast Province

June 2, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Mombasa, with a population of 900,000, is no sleepy seaside village. Its beachfront hotels appeal to travelers in search of sun, sand and surf, while its Arab, Indian and colonial European heritage makes for a wide variety of sights to see. Can't find a taxi? Travel by tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled auto rickshaw.

Your beach tour to the old town of Mombasa is not complete without taking a day out to Tsavo national park. Tsavo national park is divided into west and east national parks. Tour to either of the two tour parks is the best decision to make, whether on a short or long coastal holiday.Tsavo National Park is the largest park in Kenya and consists of two separate parks, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Altogether, Tsavo measures 21,000 square kilometers. The park is located between the cities of Mombasa and Nairobi and straddles the highway used to travel from one to the other. Tsavo National Park is known for its abundance of wildlife as well as a variety of geological features such as Mudanda Rock and Lugard Falls. Because Mudanda Rock towers over a natural dam, it is a good place to see elephants and other park inhabitants in the dry season. Other important features include the Yatta Plateau and the Aruba Dam.

It was a though but fantastic tour to mount longonot. We walked about 3 hours to see the crater, some animals and the beautiful nature. After that we spent some relaxing time at the boat trip at lake naivasha, and see some hippo's, birds and zebra's. Driver Sammy and guide Peter were 2 excellent and professional persons who make you're day more better. They're also very helpful, respectful and friendly. I recomment this tour to everyone who loves the nature!

My safari in Tsavo East National Parc and Saltlck was again a great adventure for me. Even if there was high grass because of the rain the time before I saw a lot of animals. I saw for example lions, elephants, giraffs, buffalos, impallas, a lot of different birds. It was amazing. The organisation of my safari and my safariguide was very good. I have nothing to complain.

What a truly life changing experience going to Kenya on a Safari! With the world being shut down with Covid, we delayed our trip for almost a year but once we were there (just after Christmas) we saw the magic that truly is Kenya and felt incredibly safe and sanitized the entire time. We took the 7 day Kenya Safari, starting with arriving at Nairobi where we were greeted by Julius at the airport and arriving to the beautiful Nairobi Serena hotel. We stayed there 2 night to adjust to the time difference and the food and hotel staff were exceptional. Definitely one of the most luxurious hotels I have been to. Then Julius took us to the airport in the morning and off we went on a small plane (it felt so adventurous!) to Amboseli where we stayed at Amboseli Serena (3 days) where everyday there were elephants just outside the compound. We would enjoy our evening wine on the balcony and just watch the elephants roam around, it was truly magical. The hotel and staff were lovely and it was so open and big, we went on game drives everyday and it was truly remarkable how much we saw (elephants, lions, zebra, flamingos, the list goes on and on). On the third day we were then taken back to the airstrip to go to our final destination, the Masai Mara. After a short flight, we landed on the airstrip of Mara Serena and it was unbelievable how vast and beautiful the savannah is. We were immediately taken to a game drive where we saw plenty of lions, and then to our hotel to check in and have lunch. Let me tell you, this hotel is amazing, it is the best view I have ever seen and being on top of the hill you see the Mara river and the Savannah all the way to the horizon. So much wild life just from your window. The game drives were exceptional and we saw the big 5 and plenty of baby lions! Our 11 year old daughter loved it and learned so much about the culture and wildlife. My husband and I were so bonded just being on this amazing adventure together. We had the time of our lives in the Masai Mara. After our last day we left after breakfast and flew back to Nairobi where Julius was there to take us back to the International airport, but first took us shopping, at my request, at the best souvenir spot he knew of. We were greeted there by Claudia who made all of this happen, she was there from when I first started looking into going to Kenya with my family. If I could give her 10 stars I would, she was exceptional and communicated the entire time, answering all my Covid questions, making sure I got everything packed and all paperwork in order (Covid test, visas, shots, etc.). She planned everything for me and rescheduled everything for me like 3 times (thanks to Covid) and never once showed the slightest annoyance about it. Spending the week in Nairobi, Amboseli and Masai Mara felt like a dream and I felt like it was the perfect amount of time to experience it all. I highly recommend this tour, you won’t find any company that will do it for cheaper, trust me, I looked, the value is exceptional and the experience is priceless.
