Mombasa is known for being hot, but the cool temperatures here is exquisite.
At Mama Ngina water front, Mombasa You get a broad view of the ocean and the ship as they come to dock. The place is now revamped with cabro-paved parks, low cliff barriers and rich lawns. There are curios and snacks at the entire stretch, plus lots of other fun activities like camel rides.
This is a truly unique road. It is very scenic because it encircles the spectacular Indian Ocean. On the other side there are beautiful lush-green golf courses and gardens. It is an ideal place to have a picnic or a leisurely stroll. Many festivals are held in this area. Between 1912 and 1936 the British developed beautiful gardens and parks here. The road passing through them was called the Azania Drive. After independence the first president Jomo Kenyatta discarded this name and renamed this scenic road after his fourth wife Ngina Kenyatta. She was also the mother of the fourth president Uhuru Kenyatta and famous as the Ivory Queen because of her connections with ivory smugglers.
I loved the concept. Separating the cars from the walkway was the best idea.
Fully lit up at night is brilliant.
However, needs to be maintained as there are gaps in the drainage where a child could break a leg running.
