About Exploring Mombasa

Exploring Mombasa is an independent travel and culture platform helping visitors and residents discover Mombasa and the wider Kenyan Coast through practical, locally informed information.

We cover places to visit, beaches, restaurants, accommodation, tours, events, transport, local culture and everyday coastal life. Our coverage extends across Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Lamu, Tana River and Taita Taveta counties.

Why Exploring Mombasa exists

Useful information about Kenya’s coast is often scattered, outdated or written without enough practical detail. Exploring Mombasa was created to make planning easier and to give coastal destinations, communities and businesses more thoughtful and accurate representation.

Our aim is to help readers understand not only where to go, but also how to get there, what to expect, what it may cost and whether a place or experience will suit them.

How we research our guides

Our content combines local knowledge, personal experience, contributor research and information from businesses, public bodies and other primary sources.

Where possible, we confirm important practical details such as:

• Locations and directions
• Opening hours
• Entrance fees and activity prices
• Transport options
• Contact information
• Facilities and accessibility
• Safety considerations
• Booking requirements

Prices, opening hours, transport fares and access conditions can change. We therefore include publication or update dates where appropriate and encourage readers and businesses to notify us when information needs correcting.

Our contributors

Exploring Mombasa works with writers, photographers, residents, travellers and people with direct knowledge of different parts of the Kenyan Coast.

Contributed articles are credited to their writers wherever applicable. Our editorial team may edit submissions for accuracy, clarity, structure and usefulness while preserving the contributor’s experience and voice.

We particularly welcome practical guides based on genuine local knowledge and first-hand experience.

Independent and transparent

Exploring Mombasa is independently operated and is registered with Kenya’s Tourism Regulatory Authority.

We are not a government department or an official tourism authority. Our editorial decisions are made independently.

Businesses can list services, submit events or work with Exploring Mombasa through commercial partnerships. Commercial participation does not guarantee positive editorial coverage. Sponsored or paid collaborations will be identified where applicable.

Corrections and updates

Accuracy matters to us, but coastal destinations and businesses change constantly.

If you notice an outdated price, incorrect location, closed business, changed telephone number or any other problem, use the Suggest an update button on the relevant page. You can also contact us directly.

Submitted corrections are reviewed before changes are published.
