Mombasa, also known as the gateway to Africa, is one of the continent’s oldest cities on the eastern seaboard and to date, one of the most developed too.

The city grew around the port of Kilindini, a natural deep harbour at the end of the Likoni Channel, and one that has been expanded over the years, now serving most, if not all, of the East and near Central African hinterland through the Northern Corridor.
