A must-visit gem in Mombasa—stunning architecture, engaging exhibits, and captivating storytelling across centuries. Ideal for history buffs, culture seekers, families, or anyone looking to dive deep into coastal Kenya’s heritage. Just plan ahead, pace your visit, and enjoy a stroll through living history.

It's beautiful to explore alone. But if you can get a guided tour from a local historian, it will give so much more clarity to the history of the region and of the nation of kenya, I learned so much! Especially when I realized that some of the transatlantic slave trade, was fed from slavers, from this coast and this very fort!

Oozing with historical facts, the place offers insight into the early years of Mombasa. We had a brilliant guide which contributed to a successful, engaging tour which was extremely informative. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing, wear a hat and take drinking water. It is hot and humid with little shade.

Its historically very nice and also a must see if you visit Mombasa But the touristprice so high again and no tourguide included in the rate... sad but well thats Kenya We had a good time also without the guide as you can read all the Infos and explore by yourself There is rubbish lying arroung... thats not so nice. Please try to clean it up Thanks

We didn't go inside but my girlfriend and I toured the city. We went outside of the fort and heard about all of the history. I definitely recommend a visit here.

Rich in history and great views from the fort. Must visit while in Mombasa. Can see authentic doors from Arab occupancy times.

During the visit , I reminisced about the old days when as a class eight student from Hot Courses Primary School in 2010 we went there during a school trip. I rekindled my memories and went about the museum key places recalling the details earlier told to us by the tour guide 15 years ago. The charges were a little higher and I couldn't understand the reason for the hike. I checked out an item on the bucket list anyway.

I loved the site. Best location for history lovers and tourists to visit. It is recommended you have a guide to enjoy the experience better.
