Mombasa: Hitting Kenya's Biggest Beach City

We hadn’t planned on leaving Nairobi, but when our apartment booking fell through we took it as a sign to head to Mombasa. The 6‑hour train ride brought us to Nyali Beach, where we stayed in a lovely apartment and enjoyed evenings on the balcony. We walked the white sand beaches, discovered Poco Loco’s amazing choma feast, explored the 700‑year‑old ruins of Jumba La Mtwana, and toured Mombasa Island’s CBD and Old Town, where we walked through the spice market, Somali and Indian markets, alleyways, and Fort Jesus. Check out the video and our latest blog post for all the details.
