Fort Jesus Tours

Fort Jesus played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

You'll soon learn why this Mombasa history-filled fortress is visited by many travelers. If you're searching for more to see and do here, Mombasa Marine National Park, City Mall, and Wild Waters are in this area as well. They won't take you very long to reach from Fort Jesus.

8.6/10 Excellent! (152 reviews)
We stayed in the Residences 2Bd it was amazing. The pool didn't heat up, but the kids enjoyed it. Breakfast was 1-star, too many flies, they had nets, but people were not covering the food back up. They need to set up fans and place them over the food to prevent the flies. The acrobat show was great. The beach was good, we had someone walk us across the lowtide (I had 3 small kids for $15). We visited the main pool, and the kids enjoyed it. The lunch bar sold great food. We ate lunch off the resort daily, best food was at the Salty Squid. We attempted to eat at Nomad but they wanted us to pay an entrance at the gate (I didn't like it). Room service: The laundry service was good. Room Service was quick and hot. It's a limited menu, pizza was not good. We moved to building 400, after 4 days for one night, no complaints.

After touring the fort, walk around Old Town with the help of a guide (they will seek you out and are very helpful). If venturing out by yourself, be wary of young hooligans.

Camping on an endless white sandy beach under palm trees. It simply is paradise. The restaurant is reasonably priced and the food good. In town you can find the best nyama choma at a place called Kombani Joint. #OnTheRoad #camp #roadtrip #BeachTips
