The Resort
- Mombasa is very much a beach destination but one that is unique in two ways. First, the sheer variety of hotels on offer. You can have cheap 3* options right up to 5* luxury, plus many small, unique and boutique hotels such as Cove Treehouses. And second, one of the great advantages of Mombasa for a holiday destination is its closeness to Tsavo National Park enabling you to go on 1, 2 or 3 night mini safaris that may also include the wonderful Amboseli, which I particularly love because of the backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro.
