In case you do not know What to do in Mombasa, Zunguka Safaris has got you covered.
WIthout further ado, here is a list of 8 Fun things to in Mombasa during our 3 days and 2 nights Mombasa Package
1. Go to the Beach
A visit to Mombasa is incomplete without going to the beach. Mombasa is home to several beaches including Nyali Beach, Watamu Beach, Shanzu Beach, Bamburi Beach and Pirates Beach just to mention a few.
Going to the beach is fun because you get to sunbathe, swim and engage in water sports and activities.
Beach sunsets and sunrises also provide the best backdrops for capturing Instagram worthy pictures.
Finally, going to the beach is among the best things to do in Mombasa because you get to try seafood from beachfront resorts or shacks and coconut water popularly known as madafu.
Some of the popular seafood dishes we highly recommend include prawns, crabs, and even octopus.
2. Mombasa Marine Park
Mombasa Marine Park is among the Best Places to Visit in Mombasa. It is best known for its crystal-clear waters, stunnning coral reefs and rich marine life.
The marine park is also a good spot to carry out activities such as snorkelling, diving, sunbathing, water surfing, and water skiing.
Some of the marine life you can expect to see at Mombasa Marine Park include a variety of fish such as sea turtles, sea urchins, star fish, zebra fish, butterfly fish and angel fish.
What to Carry During your Visit to Mombasa Marine Park

3. Wild Waters
If you like to splash and play with water, Wild Waters is arguably the best place in mombasa to visit. The water park is located in Nyali along Links Road next to Mamba village.
One of the best things about Wild Waters is that it has more than 15 exciting water slides and a lazy river where both kids and adults can have fun.
Another good thing about Wild Waters is that it has onsite snack bars and restaurants where people can order delicacies as they enjoy the waters.
Generally, WIld Waters is an ideal spot for family outings, parties and school trips. It is also a good option especially during bad beach days.

4. Haller Park
Visiting Haller Park should be at the top of your bucketlist destinations in Mombasa. The park is located in Bamburi and it is a perfect example to showcase how a wasteland can be changed to a paradise.
In the beginning, Haller Park was a limestone quarry owned by Bamburi Portland Cement. After mining came to an end, the place looked so disorganized and ugly and Bamburi Cement took responsibility and decided to reclaim the land and restore its beauty by creating an ecological system.
As of today, the park is home to more than 25 tree species and a diverse range of animal species including reptiles, amphibians, birds and aquatic animals.
Most people visit Haller Park to see the big crocodiles and snakes.
5. Fort Jesus
Fort Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage site just like Bwindi National Park.
It is a must visit destination in Mombasa because it is the key to understanding the rich culture and traditions of the early Portuguese.
The high walls, well preserved artifacts, tombs and cannons tell how much these people were advanced and civilized during the 16th century.
6. Nguuni Nature Sanctuary
Located just 10 mintutes from Bamburi is the Nguuni Nature Sanctuary.
This sanctuary is best known for its diverse range wild animals including Giraffes, Elands, Oryx and more than 250 Bird species.
Asides from the wildlife, Nguuni Nature Sanctuary is also a good spot to go for a picnic, nature walk, and cycle a bike.
A majority of the people who book with Zunguka Safaris like to visit this hidden gem because it is full of serenity and peace.
Point to Note: Nguuni Nature Sanctuary is open daily from 9:00 am.
7. Mamba Village
Mamba Village is one of those Places in Mombasa that keeps people talking.
Being the largest crocodie in East Africa, Mamba Village is the best place to see crocodiles and enjoy some crocodile meat. At the moment, this sanctuary is home to more than 12,000 crocodiles.
The biggest is called Big Daddy and he was transferred to this farm in 1986 from the Tana River. He is 5 metres long and almost a tonne heavy. Amazing, right?
What is the Best time to visit Mamba Village: The best time to visit Mamba Village is in the evening from 5:00 pm during the feeding sessions.
Asides from the crocodiles, Mamba village also has a snake park that is home a variety of African Snake species from venomous to non-venomous.
8. Mama Ngina Waterfront
Also known as Mama Ngina Drive, Mama Ngina Waterfront is among our list of the Best Places to Visit in Mombasa because it gives tourists a golden chance to see ships sailing and dock or exit the the Port of Mombasa.
Mama Ngina Waterfront is also a good spot to relax and go for a picnic. On a normal day hundreds of people flock in the 26 acre piece of land and unwind with their loved ones.
Finally, attending an event at the Mama Ngina Waterfront is among our of the Best Things to do in Mombasa because they are lively and worth the hype.
