The Mombasa Carnival
01/11/2009 - 30/11/2009
Place of event: Mombasa Town, Moi Avenue
Mombasa becomes a melting pot for culture, tradition and religion during the Carnival. If you want to see it all in one day, do not miss this event.
The main parade is made of 2 other smaller parades which converge onto Moi Avenue. At the main sage you will find dancers and local bands while in others, you will get entertained by traditional dancers. You will get a chance to purchase arts and crafts form stalls.
Being a coastal town, the carnival would not be complete without a sailing regatta at the seafront.
Meet Ben and Jacky, your local connection in Nairobi. In recent years we've seen our city transform itself from a dusty city, at times dangerous and lacking in glamour, into one that is clean, vibrant and safe. We greatly welcome the increased numbers of visitors that this has brought our country, but we also recognize the potentially harmful nature of tourism as well. Due to this, we are involved in preventing exploitation of Maasai villages by overzealous and unscrupulous tour operators, as well as working with hotels and conference organizers to encourage more contribution to worthwhile Kenyan charities.
