Day-by-Day Itinerary

1. 1

   Day 1: Arrive in Mombasa

   Your Mombasa family holiday begins with the SGR journey from Nairobi to the coast and a planned transfer from Miritini station. Check in at Bamburi Beach Hotel, settle into your room, and spend the remaining afternoon beside the Indian Ocean. Children can unwind after the train ride while adults enjoy an easy first look at Bamburi Beach. Dinner is served at the hotel, followed by a relaxed evening with no scheduled touring before the next day’s city experience.

   Day 2: Explore Mombasa Old Town

   Mombasa Old Town and Fort Jesus anchor a full day of guided coastal history after breakfast. Walk through narrow streets shaped by centuries of Indian Ocean trade, view carved doors and historic architecture, and explore the fort’s commanding position above the harbour. The guide keeps the pace comfortable for families and allows time for photographs and lunch at your own cost. Return to Bamburi Beach Hotel in the late afternoon for dinner and a free evening by the coast.

   Day 5: Return to Nairobi

   The final morning in Mombasa is reserved for breakfast and a calm checkout from Bamburi Beach Hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Mombasa package price include?

The advertised price includes return SGR travel between Nairobi and Mombasa, Miritini station transfers, four nights at Bamburi Beach Hotel, breakfast and dinner, and the guided activities listed in the itinerary. Personal drinks, lunches, optional water sports, travel insurance, and services not confirmed on the final quotation are excluded.

Which ages qualify for the child rate?

Children aged 2 to 11 qualify for the listed child price when sharing a room with paying adults. Travellers aged 12 and above pay the adult rate. Room occupancy limits can vary, so Proven Adventures will confirm whether a family room, interconnecting rooms, or an additional bed is available before payment.

When is the best time to book Mombasa?

Mombasa is a year-round coast destination, but package prices change across the 2026 travel periods. April to June carries our lowest listed rates, while July to October and the year-end holiday period cost more. Marine activities remain subject to daily weather, tides, and safety guidance.

Do travellers need passports, visas, or identification?

Kenyan citizens should carry valid identification for transport and any citizen-rate attractions. Residents should bring valid proof of Kenyan residency, while international visitors need passports and the travel authorization applicable to their nationality. Visa or authorization costs are not included because entry requirements differ by traveller and may change.

Are marine park fees included?

The guided Mombasa Marine National Park outing is included as described in the confirmed itinerary. Non-resident marine protected-area fees are commonly around USD 15 at many Kenyan parks, but the exact payable fee and included activities will be shown on the final quotation. Optional snorkelling equipment or private boats may cost extra.

Is there a single-room supplement?

The published prices are per person sharing a room. A traveller requesting a private room may pay a single-room supplement because the hotel cost is no longer shared. Proven Adventures will confirm the supplement after checking Bamburi Beach Hotel availability for the selected dates; no unverified fixed supplement is added to the package page.

Can I fly to Mombasa instead of using the SGR?

Proven Adventures can replace the return SGR journey with Mombasa airport transfers when flight details are provided. Any increase or reduction will appear on the revised quotation before booking. International and domestic flight tickets are not included unless they are specifically added and confirmed in writing.

How do I book this Mombasa holiday?

Send Proven Adventures your preferred 2026 dates, traveller numbers, child ages, and citizen or residency category. Our team will check Bamburi Beach Hotel, train, transfer, and activity availability before issuing a final quotation. The booking is secured according to the payment amount and deadline stated on that invoice.
