INTRODUCTION TO MOMBASA COAST
Kenya's attraction to worldwide travellers stems from its prolific wildlife and stunning natural diversity. Home of the safari tradition and the most magical wildlife arena on earth, the mountainous peaks and legendary plains, cut by swathes of valleys, offer a vision of Africa with eternal appeal.
Beyond the grassland horizon lie golden beaches trimmed by ribbons of coral reef. The tempting palm shaded beaches are dotted with towns and villages where Arabic dhows add a touch of the Middle East - a throwback to Kenya's prosperous trading days.
