Mombasa

Kenya’s second largest city is not much like Nairobi at all. The hustle-bustle, cell phones, and expensive suits of the capital are replaced by a laid-back attitude, where locals dressed in traditional Islamic garb move as slowly as possible in the blistering heat. The Arabic influence is quite evident in the dress, architecture, and food of Mombasa.

Mombasa is just an hour or two from three nice beaches, with glorious white sands. When you’re not in the water or soaking up the sun, take a stroll into Old Town to get a taste of Swahili culture and street food, then visit the historic Fort Jesus, or check out some of the hottest clubs in the country.Such as the Tembo (http://www.tembo.net) nightclub where the party never stops. A 24 hour outdoor bar and disco. Why not travel on sfari there with jambosafaris (http://www.jambosafaris.com)and get a feel for the real Africa.
