All Mombasa Tours & Excursions in 2026

Tsavo is huge! This tour lets you see Tsavo East, which is probably more than enough for most people unless you want to do a multi day Safari. I saw tons of elephants as well as lions, zebras, gazelles, hippos, ostriches… you name it… I saw it (aside from rhinos, we didn’t see any rhinos). Keep in mind pick up will be very early in the morning - like 5 AM early in the morning. There is a lunch buffet available in the park. It’s reasonably priced and pretty good - plus you get to eat near a lot of elephants… so if you’d like elephants all the better. My tour guide was excellent, he really knew his way around the park. You will run into other vehicles at specific locations when certain animals are visible. This is a good thing because the drivers communicate with one another to ensure that all tourist see what they’re looking for. Again, this is a long day so be prepared. It’s definitely worth the trip and I recommend you do so if you have the opportunity.

Humphrey was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history of Fort Jesus and Mombasa as a whole. I would highly recommend if you're interested in history and historical sites to book this experience and ask for Humphrey. The spice market could be hectic but they had excellent products and explained the use of each product we sampled. The elephant tusks were not exciting to us and we could have gone without seeing it (especially with kids asking for money) but if you like photo finishes then the last location might be your scene.

My husband and I enjoyed our day exploring Mombasa. We went to the tusks, market, Beach with fresh coconuts and cassava chips. Then on to an additional guide for old town history and Fort Jesus. Antoni was the old time guide who was very knowledgeable. It was so hot and humid. We then had lunch at a local restaurant then on to Haller Park. The only down sides of the day were we did not get into the Fort Jesus museum 🫤. (Also there are no hippos at the Haller Park) We also think they should have included waters with the tour... Overall still a good tour.
