Mombasa
The town of Mombasa is east Africa's largest port and Kenya's main tourist hub. Located on the south east coast, it is one of the major destinations for tourists visiting Kenya. The coastal city of Mombasa is actually an island with magnificent stretches of white sandy beaches and coral reefs, but has a lot more to offer visitors than just the beautiful beaches. It was a very influential port in the 15th century, and has played a significant role in laying the foundations of Mombasa today. Some of the popular attractions in the town relate directly to its history.

Al Fajiri Villas
Considered by many as the most exclusive property on the East African Coast, Alfajiri Villas overlook the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and a ten mile stretch of Diani Beach. With the elevated position all three villas ensure privacy and stunning views. The African style villas feature high Makuti roofs, ivory Danish floors, wooden beams, Lamu doors and impressive African and Asian artefacts, with much of the furniture made on the property in the villa's workshop. The gardens are meticulously maintained and include many palms from the villa's nursery. Large verandahs with huge hand carved sofas decorated with cushions dominate the front of the villas where the swimming pool sits on the edge of a small cliff merging into the sea and the horizon.

Surrounded by magnificent coral gardens, empty beaches and indigenous bush land, Manda Bay is a glorious destination for both active and leisurely holiday makers. On a secluded peninsular of the island where guests enjoy total privacy and tranquility the sixteen spacious cottages are built in a traditional coastal style each with thatch roof and uninterrupted views of the ever-changing waters with spectacular marine life.
