Mombasa Experience

MagicalAfrica Safari Kenya

Advantages: Staff willingness to help- nothing is too much trouble
Disadvantages: none

...even arranged our travel onto Mombasa without taking a shilling in commission. We would definitely recommend Magical Africa to anyone who wants a genuine African safari and are so glad we didn't book a tour through our UK travel agent as originally planned. We really discovered how lucky we had been when we spoke to other holiday-makers in the second week of our trip- ALL of which had been on safaris offering a lot less for twice the price. ...

Review of Mombasa (Kenya)

Want a hot, friendly, holiday the place to be

Advantages: Beautiful place, lovely people, gorgeous weather
Disadvantages: The travel there and pestering locals

I have been to Mombassa twice now and I loved it both times. The travel from Mombassa airport freaks you out a bit with all the poor locals but once you get to your resort it is like you have entered another world! The people seriously cannot do enough for you they bend over backwards to make you happy and they smile all the time! The beaches are gorgeous and the weather is hot hot hot! The all inclusive deals are real value for money and the ...
...very African and fun. They are so good with children and both kids we went with cried and didnt want to come home - we had to drag them to the Airport!! It is somewhere you go that once youve been you will return believe me in gets in your heart! ...

Hi there everybody!! I recently travelled to Kenya and i just thought i'd share some of my experiences with you! I travelled to Mombassa Kenya in July of this year and i have to say i think it was the best holiday i have been on! I have totally fallen in love with Africa and the African people! I am even thinking about saving up so i can travel there sometime in the future with my friends! I stayed in a hotel called The Voyager Beach Resort, the ...
...10 mins from Mombassa Town. The views are breathtaking across the ocean and if you have a sea view room then this is what you are to wake up every morning for the next 2 weeks!! The food was fantastic and all the staff were very obliging! I am still in contact with many of them even now! As a 17 yr old i get very bored very easily, but the hotel offered so many different activities, i always found myself being roped into some kind of sport! :o) However ...

Don't be put off by the terrorists, otherwise, I think, they'll have won... ***MOMBASA*** Mombassa is a port town – newly designated as a city (the President’s New Year present) – on the Indian Ocean coast. It is a bustling, vibrant place, sadly lacking in anything resembling the levels of cleanliness we are familiar with in our major cities. The Town centre is no safe place to be after dark for tourists, but ...
...remember the golden rules – carry no valuables in obvious places, not even jewellery and keep money well hidden away. Take a taxi if you are not sure – it is better to be safe than to be sorry. But there is much to see in the centre of Mombassa – most notably Fort Jesus: a stop off for slaves in the 18th century. And now onto the op… **TRAVELLING TO MOMBASSA** There are a number of ways of getting to Mombassa – as we were staying in Nairobi beforehand ...
