Mombasa National Park & Reserve
Mombasa Marine Reserve was formed first, to protect the precious coralheads and their resident marinelife from damage by over-fishing and trophy collecting (relics, shells, coral etc). Coral species include: branching (acropora), encrusting (turbinaria) and massive (porites).
The park opened recently with the support of local hoteliers to prevent further stripping of the natural treasures from the reef in order to preserve its ecological and tourist attraction. Beaches with marine park access: Nyali, Bamburi and Shanzu.
Originally a trading port, Mombasa town is a fascinating mix of the traditional and the modern. The 16th Century Fort Jesus and the Old Town are very much worth a visit.
