Welcome to Mombasa

Mombasa, Kenya's second city and main port, sits on an island on the Indian Ocean coast and is the gateway to some of East Africa's best beaches. A Plus Travel compares fares from the UK to Moi International Airport (MBA) for beach holidays, Swahili culture breaks, safari add-ons and family visits.

Flying to Mombasa from the UK

Most journeys connect through Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Doha, Istanbul or Dubai, taking roughly 11 to 16 hours depending on the layover. Connecting via Nairobi lets you add a safari to your trip, and our consultants can build a combined itinerary. Check our Nairobi flight guide for details of the main Kenyan hub.

Best time to travel

December to March is hot and dry and the busiest period on the coast. June to October is slightly cooler and still dry, often with better value. The long rains fall in April and May.

Things to do

Explore Old Town and Fort Jesus, relax on Diani, Nyali or Bamburi beaches, snorkel in the marine parks or take a two-day safari to Tsavo.

Before you book

UK travellers need a Kenya eTA, applied for online before departure. The currency is the Kenyan shilling. Check the latest FCDO advice for the coast and border areas before you travel. We confirm requirements when we quote.
