Cost of living in Mombassa

Hi,
Myself and my boyfriend are travelling to Mombassa for a two week vacation later this month. I'm really excited as it's always been a dream of mine to vist Kenya but i'm hoping for some tips on things like
- Cost of living? How much money will we need for 2 weeks?
- Recommended Safari's?
- Is the weather good at this time of year?
- Anything we should definitely avoid?
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Darryl

Hi Darryl

Cost of living: It all depends on what you want to include in the cost. Have you got hotels/accommodation arranged? If so, does it include meals? Are you just looking for how much additional spending money you would need.

Weather: have a look at this webpage for climate info:

the weather will be warm, maybe with a little rain occasionally - but nothing to be concerned about.

I guess you are going to Mombasa for essentially a beach holiday and want to arrange a safari from there for a few days:

Have a look at these itineraries - they can be arranged with pick up from your accommodation.

Kenya Air Safaris-Magnificent Mara-3 days

both itineraries can be customised to suit your requirements.

You just need to complete the form at the bottom to request more information. Please note that lodges are getting fully booked up so it is best to make your arrangements ASAP.
