The City of Blue Waters

Kenya
Mombasa is a seaport city on the eastern coast of Kenya, along the Indian Ocean. It is the country's oldest and second-largest city after Nairobi. Mombasa was at first referred to as "Manbasa" – meaning an Island of war. This was because the island was the center stage for countless wars of occupation by the early settlers (Arabs, Portuguese, Locals, and the British). The island is separated from the mainland by 2 creeks-Port Reitz in the South and Tudor in the North. The native people on the island are the Mijikenda and the Swahili. The Mijikenda are black while the Swahili are brown – a result of intermarriages between the early settlers (Portuguese, Arabs, Omanis, Indian, and Chinese) who came mainly as traders and skilled craftsmen on the island. The intermarriages left behind a unique blend of culture and a legacy that also includes unique architecture (temples, mosques), towns, and cuisines. Because of her natural beauty, cultural diversity, and rich history as a center of trade, Mombasa has grown into one of East Africa's economic hubs with an international airport and one of the busiest seaports in Africa. Mombasa links several landlocked countries in East Africa to the Indian Ocean including mainland Kenya, Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mombasa offers tourists a chance to experience its rich seafaring traditions, coral reefs, water sports, kinds of seafood, architectural wonders, amazing hotels, and palm tree/white sand beaches. There is so much to see and experience that travelers multiple times only to discover something they didn't know existed
