Rejseplan
Vi tager et billede med Elephant Tusks i Mombasa. De er på Moi Avenue, og de fik til opgave at fejre dronning Elizabeths besøg i 1952.
Vi stopper ved krydderimarkedet. Det er det ældste marked i Mombasa. Det blev bygget i 1914 af den britiske koloni. Vi får turister fra hele verden, der besøger markedet. I den finder du alle slags krydderier - hvad vil du prøve? Vil det være kardemomme, peber, gurkemeje ... eller nogle nye karrypulver?
Vores vandretur snor sig gennem den gamle bydel i Mombasa, inklusive fiskemarkedet, den gamle havn og det hinduistiske tempel, samt stopper for håndværk på Akamba håndværk.
Du får en omfattende guidet tur gennem Fort Jesus, et UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Vi besøger Fort Jesus Museum, går gennem fortet, mens vi lærer om portugisiske, omanske araber og britiske påvirkninger.

He is engaging and well informed. He is also vibrant and ensured we were served well wherever we went. Also good with photos. Highly recommend him and will refer to other friends
We took an afternoon Walking Tour through Old Town Mombasa and Fort Jesus led by Humphrey (Humphrey Ndungu Tours). It was an extremely pleasant and informative tour. He is very knowledgeable about Mombasa history and Fort Jesus history. He gladly accommodated our interest in spending additional time in the spice market and helped in negotiating purchases from vendors. He is an enthusiastic guide who clearly wants his clients to enjoy their tour. And at the end of the tour he recommended a very nice restaurant on the water where we could see the sunset and arranged our transportation to it and back to our hotel. We highly recommend Humphrey’s tours!
Humphrey gave excellent communication prior to the tour, and was very kindly flexible with timings for me. The tour was very informative and Humphrey clearly knows so much about all the history! I feel like in a fairly short time I was able to learn a lot about Mombasa and see many things.
I had a great time exploring old town Mombasa with Antony. I booked this experience the day before arriving to beat my jet lag and get a lay of the city. I had originally planned to meet with Humphrey, but he was sick so instead of cancelling, he arranged for another experienced tour guide, Antoni, to meet me for my tour. I really appreciated that level of care. Antoni was insanely knowledgeable about the history of Mombasa. We toured Fort Jesus together, then saw historical sites in the old city, walked through the busy streets of new Mombasa to arrive at the spice and vegetable market, traveled to a Hindu temple, and then Antony arranged for us to end our walking tour back at my hotel. It was a great day, and I learned so much. What I really appreciated was Antony’s storytelling, connecting the history of Mombasa to current events. As a solo traveling woman, I felt safe the entire journey. Thank you so much for hosting me, Humphrey and Antony!
We had an amazing experience with Humphrey during our Fort Jesus and Old Town tour in Mombasa. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and culture of the area. He explained everything in such an engaging way and made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Humphrey was also patient, professional, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. We learned so much about Fort Jesus and the rich heritage of Old Town that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Mombasa and looking for a great tour guide experience!
We met Humphrey at Fort Jesus at the designated time. We then toured the fort for about an hour. Humphrey is engaging and clearly knowledgeable about the history of the fort. We took our time and walked through and around what I would call the 5 parts of it. Entire tour of the fort took about an hour. Very impressed with Humphrey and his story telling of this world heritage site. We ended the tour at that point as we had taken another tour that included the places that Humphrey was suppose to take us on next. Humphrey suggested another option for us, but we opted not to do that. Anyway, I don’t think you’d find a better guide to take this tour with. Definitely recommend Humphrey as I’m sure it would have been a pleasure to have done the 4 hour tour with him.
Humphrey is a good guide and knows a lot. Very friendly! He made the trip very interesting Even though it was a warm day.
Had a very nice tour with Humphrey. He was very knowledgeable about the area and would recommend him. We would have got lost if we went on our own.
Humphrey was a friendly and knowledgable guide. He explained the history of the fort and old town in great detail, making it a really interesting tour.
Humphrey, the guide, was at the meeting point before time. Very nice guy and knowledgeable. We spent an hour at Fort Jesus and went to the old town. I learned a lot about the history of the city. He was really patient with me and helped me do some shopping at the spice market. He stayed with me all the way back to the hotel. Even though it was raining, he didn’t cancel and brought umbrellas. A had a good time !
