| Bamburi beach hotel, Mombasa, has its own
private ocean front, recently enhanced with a wooden boardwalk

sports to an afternoon's siesta ! Hotel facilities are in

of a swimming pool area in the front with another smaller

with a surrounding fountain and garden area immediately giving
the visitor an impression of the property which is at once
pleasing and relaxing. Children have their own enjoyment area
With different children activities including swimming.
The Bamburi beach hotel is conveniently located
on the north coast of Kenya and its main international airport
at Mombasa. This hotel facility offers the All Inclusive concept
and is set amid lush tropical gardens, with extensive white
sandy beaches overlooking the beautiful Indian Ocean.
There are many areas of interest to the visitor
of this area of the country. For travellers to the area, further
north, from Mtwapa up to Malindi the scenery is a collage
of rolling baobab, sisal plantations, cashew trees, thick
jungle and swamp up to an even bigger extinct river course
at Kilifi Creek. On the way there is the lost city of Jumbala
Mtwapa - a long abandoned relic shrouded in jungle. The mangrove
swamps are the seasonal roost of thousands of Carmine Bee-eaters
which descend in a riot of exotic colour and is a most unusual
sight.
Very close to the hotel, the eco-friendly Bamburi
Nature trail lies across the creek that separates
the island of Mombasa from the north coast of Kenya, crossing
the Nyali area. The Trail is a somewhat unique development
in that huge tracts of land were carved up to supply raw material
for the cement factory - old coral. Conservation issues are
hugely important nowadays. These areas are no longer used
by the factory and instead have been given back to nature.
Assisted in part by the factory itself this area has been
re-developed - and now covers many acres of pools, trees,
grasses, and lately - fauna. This is an ongoing process and
as time passed more animals resulting in a pleasant environment
once degraded.
The property is in an ideal location to offer
visitors easy access to facilities close by - shopping, seeking
arts and crafts, entertainment and a range of tours and activities
to be enjoyed on the coast, or inland to the famous wildlifes
areas of the country. This coastal area to the north, extending
some 70 kilometres (45 miles) from the Nyali bridge to Kilifi,
is a paradise of sand and bright blue sea. One of the coast's
more recent National Marine Parks, the Mombasa Marine National
Park, lies off the Nyali headland. On the northern end of
the Nyali coastal strip lies the fascinating Mamba Crocodile
Village. Further north is Mtwapa Creek - an old river course
cut deep into the limestone. The shores on either side are
lined with marinas and watersports centres.
