Haller Park is a showcase of conservation, where you can now see wildlife in its natural setting, where once was an exhausted quarry. From wasteland to a microcosm of Kenya’s, age old beauty, where flora and fauna co-exist and make new beginnings possible. If you are in Mombasa, don’t pass up the chance to see this remarkable feat. Don’t miss going to the restaurant and trying the steaks from their crocodile, ostrich and antelopes. Also, try the Bamburi tilapia.

Accredited as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, Fort Jesus Museum is a Portuguese fort that was built in Mombasa in 1593 and is considered one of the most exceptional examples of 16th century Portuguese military fortifications in the world. A visit to the fort provides a fantastic introduction to the history of Mombasa and the wars that took place between the Muslim Arabs and the Christian Europeans for control of the area. The fort is located 490 kilometers (304.5 miles) from Nairobi on Mombasa Island and is positioned to guard and protect the Old Port of Mombasa from invasion. During a wander through the museum visitors can also view various artefacts, pottery and ceramics from the era when Mombasa was a stopping point for slave trade and commodities. Exhibits also include the Portuguese frigate; Santo António de Tanná which sank off Fort Jesus in 1698 during a siege.
