The New Big Tree: Cheap Kenyan style
croisbeauty Says: The New Big Tree resort is situated close to the seashore, not far from the well known restaurant The Pirathes. It is bungalow type of accomodation offering limited number of rooms, therefore its advisable to book in advance. This resort looks alike to the traditional Kenyan...
Fontana: Beautiful and inexpensive
croisbeauty Says: Hotel Fontana is situated along Malindi Highway, right next to the Kahama hotel, and looks very attractive. It is built in African style, in particularly the restaurant, with the roofs covered by the shingle. There is greenery, all around the hotel complex, and well...
Indiana: Indian style in managing hotel
croisbeauty Says: Indiana was the first accomodation during my stay at Bamburi but I didnt feel good in this hotel because it was almost deserted. Actually, I wanted to stay at the cotages but all of them were occupied. My apartment was on the top floor, overlooking the pool, but the whole...
The Stomp 196, (Esther's place): Exclusevely Kenyan dishes
croisbeauty Says: This is pure Kenyan styled bar & restaurant situated along the main road which leads from Mombasa to Malindi. It is held by my dear friend Esther Akoth, young, beautiful and ambitious woman hardly to belive that she is already mother of three. The restaurant is small but...
Il Covo: The best reastaurant around
croisbeauty Says: After ten days of Kenyan food my stomach needed something else, more like usual food I have back home. The restaurant "Il Covo" was my logical choice since Croatian cuisine is very similar to the Italian.The restaurant is located right on the Bamburi Beach, offering...

When I visited Kenya for the first time, back in 2006., I had alot of predjudices regarding matatus like; overcrowded by passengers, not very clean, uncomfortable and dangerous ride. Fact is, riding in matatu isn't that comfortable as it is in a taxi but also, some taxi cars are much more dirthy inside than most of the mataus are. Not to mentioning the prices for a ride, the lowest ride in the taxi cost about 100 kes for approximately one kilometer while for the same amount of money one can get from Mombasa to Mtwapa and back, and it is distance of 30 to 40 kilometres.
In case your hotel is located at Bamburi, meaning Malindi Highway, it is very convinient to take matatu wherever you need to go, either it is Mombasa, Shanzu or Mtwapa. But there is something you need to know, pay in coins because if white, you will never get a change if paying in banknotes of 50 or 100 kes. If short drive, 10 or 20 kes is good enough while 30 or 40 to get to Mombasa.

croisbeauty Says: I met this youngsters only by chance when exploring the environment of Kahama Hotel. They live in a self made camp, cultivating vegetables in order to survive, but their occupation is acrobats. It is small group, two sisters and two brothers and their a bit older friend, all...
croisbeauty Says: Pirathes is the public beach resort located in Bamburi, right in front of the restaurant with the same name. The water here isn't that shallow as in most of the other beach resorts around Mombasa. The beach resort is usually overcrowded by the locals but not only, many buses...
croisbeauty Says: Well, I thought it is habbit in certain religions only but fact is, many people in Kenya do bathing completely dressed. After I've ask they told me it has nothing to do with the religion, some people just cannot afford to buy a swimming costume. Just a minor number...

Favorite thing: Actually, Bamburi is name of the village situated north of Mombasa and known for its Bamburi Cement factory. On the other side of the road, called Malindi Highway, arised numeber of hotels in a row alongside several kilometres long sandy beach known as Bamburi Beach Resorts. It is probably the biggest and the most significant tourist area in whole of Kenya. In case you travel to Kenya in your own arangment, as I am usually doing it, Bamburi is the place where to go and search for the accomodation while in Mombasa.
