Is Mombasa safe for women?

It’s a good place to travel and explore but you have to be careful. For first time travelers you shouldn’t trust strangers you meet at the beach because most of them are scammers and can try to sell you things which are overpriced.

Is Mombasa worth visiting?

Solo travel

Yes I was safe in Mombasa I get to experience the breeze of sea , tried sea food and other amazing street food which I find it more delicious than the other common food in Kenya, mombasa is the best place for relaxing

Solo travel

Everyone I met was so so welcoming and friendly. Prices were expensive in the supermarket and food choice was limited if you are vegetarian. But the local markets had amazing fresh produce for cheap, don't be afraid to haggle!
