Voi
by hurghadalady
Voi National Park in Tsavo West is unforgettable. I saw so many elephants I was in seventh heaven.
Rothschild Giraffe can also be seen here. Watch out for the acacia with their thorns though when travelling over some of the rougher paths. They are deadly. Sitting on the balcony one morning when a young monkey jumped down from the overhanging tree. He stood and looked at me for a minute or two, sidled forward, touched my knee and then scampered off.
If he could have spoken I am sure he would have said 'Dad, Dad, I'm brave I just touched a white woman'

Wasini Island
It is an out and out island, ancient with original life off Mombasa coast. The marine-life is great. You can scuba-dive or snorkel. You get a boat ride and you can see dolphins if you are lucky. The food is crabs and sea food.
Snorkelling and Scuba diving can be done off a hotel on both North and South Coast , but if you are keen on Deep Sea Fishing 'Watamu' Near Malindi Town is the right spot. A lot of fish has been caught off there for fun.
Need to do boat riding? Get in touch with the Yacht Club Management and they will help you out. The beach, specially the south coast and the people around here.
The old core of the town
by croisbeauty
The old core of the town around Fort Jesus, in some aspects, look alike to the Mediterranean seaport-towns. The streets are short and narrow extended in disordered shape, but the houses are different built predominantly in the colonial style which is characterized by built in wooden terrace on the first floor.
Beautiful local girls
by croisbeauty
The previous tip is in a strong contrast with this one. The girls of Mombasa are very beautiful and most attractive in whole of Kenya. Great majority of the girls are slim and pretty much tall. It is not rare case to see a couple where gir/woman is taller than boy/man.
Dunno weather to put it as awarning or usefull notice, but most of the girls are very interesting for the whites.
Scuba with professionals
by zeezeebythesea
Had an amazing few days diving with Buccaneer Diving. They are a great outfit based at Whitesands (where I was) and some other hotels on the coast I think. (they picked up a couple of other divers on my last trip.
They have about 20 dive sites, but some you have to have additional qualifications to dive them. NOt a problem because they offer the courses and are a PADI 5* centre.
Just nice team, good training.
