Mombasa, Kenya: The Journey Series - Day 2
Curated and produced by @africa_nomadsartspace

The second day of The Journey series took us deeper into the culture and history of the city of Mombasa. We started with a ride in a “MATATU”; which is the Kenyan version of public bus transportation but complete with custom artwork exteriors, lights and custom sound systems. Destination? Fort Jesus.

A UNESCO World heritage site, Fort Jesus was built in the late 1500’s by the Portuguese as a military installation, key to the globalization and cultural exchange of the Indian Ocean trade. The fortification helped establish power and influence over the Swahili Coast for various cultural groups; seeing sieges and proxy wars fought between the Portuguese, Omani Arabs and the British Empires.

We then took a brief stroll through old town Mombasa, settled in 900 AD and standing as one of East Africas oldest continuously inhabited urban settlements. The area was and still is a key site that is influential to Mombasa’s trade, architectural and tourism sectors.

After visiting Old Town and strolling through various shops, merchants and hotspots, we took a beautiful sunset ride in a “Dhow” which is a particular style of sailing vessel native to the Indian Ocean region. Historically used for trade and mercantilism, Dhows are noted by their long-thin hulls, having one or two masts rigged traditionally with settee or lateen sails.

Society Travel Guide: Kenya (Pt. 2)

Kenya gave us more than places to see — it gave us people to remember. Between the art, the streets, and the everyday moments….genuine love for the people and culture that welcomed us in.
