Know before you go

Entrance fees to Fort Jesus are paid using an eCitizen account - no cash and no Visa card. If you have M-Pesa, that is even better. But do not worry; bring cash with you and we shall help you make the payment.

There are some places where we take a tuktuk/Bajaji/kekee, so kindly bring some cash with you for miscellaneous expenses.

Welcome to Mombasa and enjoy the beauty of its nature. If you are a nature lover, fruit lover, and flower lover, let me walk you through the city as you explore its beautiful nature.

Here you can see natural local trees and fruit trees that are over 50 years old. As we walk, learn, and enjoy, we shall walk into a local market or buy fruits from the handcarts. There are various fruits grown in Mombasa, and they are very juicy.

Each and every fruit has a twin, and we shall see the differences.

Meeting point is outside Fort Jesus Museum.
We shall walk down to the Old Town.
Head to the market.
Head to the tusks.
Head to Mama Ngina.
Please make sure you have enough cash for tasting the fruits and for a tuktuk or matatu.

Thank you, and enjoy your fruit tour with me.
