Days 2-4
Beach Break
Make the most of the African sun, sea and surf. Consider venturing out on a glass-bottomed boat to witness the spectacle of undersea life. Or don a mask and flippers - the coral reefs off the Kenyan coast are impressive and you might even see a huge but harmless whale shark. Work up a tan, windsurf, scuba dive, sail or go deep-sea fishing - the choice is completely yours. There are also two swimming pools and a soothing jacuzzi on the resort grounds in addition to floodlit tennis courts, snooker tables and a nearby golf course. Set in lovely gardens, the rooms are decorated in African style and are an ideal place to take a snooze. Otherwise, head into the city for a bit of exploration - a trip downtown takes a mere 10 minutes. One of the oldest settlements in the world, Mombasa is mentioned in scriptures dating back 2,500 years and the Old Town is a jumble of interesting laneways and intricately decorated buildings. There's delicious, authentic Swahili cuisine to be had here so make sure to stop and refuel. Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, watches over the harbour and its museum offers a fascinating insight into the long history of this trading port and the cultures of the nine Mijikenda tribes that were the original inhabitants of this stretch of coast.
Have a leisurely breakfast and one last invigorating dip before transferring to Mombasa Airport.
