There are two Commonwealth war grave cemeteries that I know of in Mombasa. One is at Mbaraki on the south side of the island near the sports club and the second is in Tudor north of Ronald Ngala Rd. These photos were taken at the Tudor cemetery.
Only stumbled across this place as I was wandering the less visited streets of Tudor in Mombasa.

Diani Beach, situated about 30km south of Mombasa, is residential area where most of the houses owned white people. It is rather small town known for its huge white- sandy beach, open to the Indian Ocean, and because of wind favourable for sailing. Unfortunatelly, it was pretty much cloudy when we visited it and the colour of the sand couldn't look intensively white as it looks under the bright sun.

Forthy Thieves is very good restaurant situated right on the Diani Beach. It offers both traditional Kenyan and international food. Our taxi driver ordered grilled chicken with potatoes made in traditional way and it looked very good. We ordered grilled calamari (squids), following suggestion of the weiter, but it wasn't that good. Actually, it was far away of mediterranean way which am used on. The price, however, was good because I paid less than 20 euros for three dishes.

The Snake Farm is quite something else. The most deadly snake in Africa is kept behind glass here. Whilst not a lover of snakes, I won't hurt them if they don't hurt me philosophy, this is well worth a visit.
They have a chameleon here which loves being held and stroked. It purrs just like a cat!

As all cities, mombasa too has its dark side, but because of poverty and drugs theft and car jacking is a big issue.
Do not wear any jewelrey, even if its fake, take care of your belongings at all times and most of all its not safe at all at night.
Avoid the police, where possible as they are very corrupt, where possible travel in groups.

The Equator runs right across Kenya, so Mombasa is officially in the Southern hemisphere
you can tell this because the water goes down the plughole in an anti clockwise spiral, in the Northern hemisphere it goes down in a clockwise spiral
no-one here is 100% sure wether or not it just goes straight down while actually on the Equator, I think it must do

The wood carving village is a good day out, see chunks of wood turned into finely carved works of art, not the same as the crudely carved bits on the beach and in the town and not too expensive all prices displayed.
