Lying alongside the Indian Ocean in the east of Africa, Kenya is an enchanting holiday destination. Some of the world's best beaches line the shores of the country. Some beaches are busy, some quiet but all with Kenya's signature fine white sand and cooling turquoise waters. Temperatures are high all year round with a subtropical climate, so the country can be visited at any time of year to enjoy the sun. The stunning landscape of lake regions, bush covered plains, tropical highlands and beaches which make up the Kenyan habitat are looked over by the pinnacle of Mount Kenya itself.
Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya playing host to some of the best beaches and scenery, the perfect place for those in search of exotic shores or the ultimate Safari experience. The countries most diverse city, Mombasa has a friendly Swahili culture combined with an Arabic feel which can be seen in the Old Town with influences from Africa, Asia, Europe and India throughout its colourful streets. An easy-going culture is evident in the city and a relaxed way of life engages visitors to Mombasa with plenty of small alleyways to stroll around that lead to bazaars, shops and restaurants. Holidays in Mombasa must include a visit to Fort Jesus, the world famous 16th century Portuguese fortress situated in the harbour.
