Quite interesting
The pick-up and drop off was good.
The best part of the tour was visiting the Akamba Handicraft centre.
This was absolutely amazing and we could have spent more time there.
Visiting the old part of Mombasa was a bit boring.
Fort Jesus was quite interesting.
Haller Park was tranquil and a great way to finish the tour.
We were rather taken aback when the tour operator asked us for an extra $US60 for the tour.

Horrible personal car
The car we ride was very small .No leg room

Nice day in Mombasa with Vincent.
My husband and I enjoyed our day exploring Mombasa. We went to the tusks, market, Beach with fresh coconuts and cassava chips. Then on to an additional guide for old town history and Fort Jesus. Antoni was the old time guide who was very knowledgeable. It was so hot and humid. We then had lunch at a local restaurant then on to Haller Park. The only down sides of the day were we did not get into the Fort Jesus museum 🫤. (Also there are no hippos at the Haller Park) We also think they should have included waters with the tour... Overall still a good tour.

We are really happy to read that you had an additional knowledgeable guide for old town and fort Jesus, lunch at the local restaurant. The hippos were deep in the water, sorry it was too hot and humid so we prefer offering water or cola direct from the stores where they are cool, as per your request.

Outstanding Full Day Tour of Mombasa!!!!
This was my first trip to Mombasa, Kenya so I wanted a good tour that would orient me to the city’s rich history, people and energy. Well, Bush Pumba Safaris most certainly delivered on that. My host and driver, Vincent, was very knowledgeable and patient with me as I asked him a lot of questions throughout the day. Our itinerary included taking pictures at the iconic Pemba za Ndovu (Commemorative Elephant Tusks on Moi Avenue), visits to a beautiful Hindu temple, Fort Jesus and Old Town, the busy Likoni Ferry and also Haller Park - where I got to feed the giraffes, watch a crocodile feeding session and see the many other local animals resident there. But, my favorite stop was to the Akamba Handicraft Cooperative Society site where I got to see and speak with the expert craftsmen who were making some of the most beautiful commemorative artwork by hand in ebony, teak, rosewood and other local materials. I was so spoiled for choice there that I ended up having to buy another piece of travel luggage (later in town) to accommodate the multiple items I purchased. It was also great to learn that 80% of all sales proceeds at Akamba go directly to the artisans there. After seeing their handiwork in progress directly, as well as the excellent quality of that work, they are certainly deserving of the fruits of their labors. I would definitely recommend Bush Pumba Safaris for the Full Day Tour of Mombasa, and if you’re lucky like me you will get Vincent as your guide. He made my first Mombasa experience unforgettable.
