Am sure am not the only one, I visited the place several times and I just decided to bypass. Go to the ferry boarding ramp and the place is dirty and dusty and maji iko some 50 M from there in the ocean. Hata afadhali utafute bucket every morning and clean up the place. Go to some streets and you will find people selling the trademark mangoes and bananas jostling for space with TukTuks. Wow on to you if you have a car itasqueeze like hell .The buildings are so dirty and they are supposed to be white in color. Same goes to garbage I hope they started collecting it from the disposal point in some market. I would agree a little for Nairobi to be in almost similar state; blame it on water lakini Mombasa maji ya bahari is everywhere. I wonder why people keep on going there a part from the beach.

Well Why are people so dirty"
Blame not the environs but the people.

@ kiash,why do you like migraine? if you start asking why other people's building's are peeling or brown instead of white in colour when you can't do anything about them..

take a breather and enjoy the weather away from kongowea.

@ Kiash, how i wish you visited Bamburi or mishomoroni.....Other than Nyali and the hotel zones, the rest of Mombasa is one huge slum.

Have to agree with @Kiash, Mombasa is one huge filthy stink zone and unworthy of being considered as our premier tourism zone.

I bet tourists being driven from the Airports to their exclusive hotels skip abit and curse their travel agents when passing through the town, offcourse when they get to their exclusive hotels and beaches, they are pleasantly surprised

While approaching to land from the A109 highway end and while taxing to the terminal, notice the beautiful slums lining the perimeter of the airport. A sight to behold and a major tourist attraction!

Haha, yeah the Governor of Mombasa can't even organize to clean up the city, how are they going to develop? Slummification is happening in Mombasa on an unprecedented scale. Within 20 to 30 years, slums will be right at the corner of the tourist hotels. And it makes the country look baaddd! Ever come in from the airport going to South Coast and after you cross the ferry you see all the filth as you go to Diani? Disgusting!!

Someone has been recarpeting kenyatta avenue, from Barclays Bank Digo rd, through Kibarani to the airport. Cheap works If you ask me, Good to last 6 months. And I doubt its the county govt. Joho so far=ZERO!

After kongowea market, malindi dual carriageway merges into one, narrow two lane road devoid of shoulders, with slums lining the edges of the highway, with a massive traffic jam any time of day (much worse during rush), clouds of dust as motorists overlap (probably for lack of choice), mud during rains woi......simple problems that can be sorted out with little money. We are not serious with tourism.

Pilots of scheduled flights and passangers have been caught up in the jam resulting in flight cancellations. Its unacceptable.
