How safe is Mombasa?
Mombasa is a very developed coastal city in kenya, and i beleive the rate of crime here is so low because young people are self employed most of them and since there is enough job for youths the rate of crime is so low
Posted: December 31, 2024It’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.

I stayed in Nyali area. This is a tourist friendly part of the city. It was safe to walk around the streets alone, even in the evening when its already dark outside. When going to the beach there will be a lot of locals trying to sell you coconuts, boat tours or crafts. They will walk with you on the beach and it might be hard to get rid of them. A good place to go for dinner is Mama Siti Cafe. They have a cheap menu and the local food is amazing. For transport i recommend to use the app BOLT. You can book a taxi, tuktuk or motortaxi and its not expensive at all.
