Bamburi beach hotel, Mombasa, has its own private

the beach front, an oasis of a swimming pool area in the front

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.
