Guys, Mombasa is a really easy going place. Don't stress about it. Rent a car in Mombasa town once you get there, it will be cheaper than getting one online. Alternatively, look for me.
South Coast. Diani, is awesome for a good relaxation. Beautiful beaches, nice, white clean beaches for miles. And they are not that crowded. You can also swim with dolphins there. The night life is a bit limited to the weekends, but there are some worthwhile ladies there.
In North Coast, Nyali is mostly residential. Not much of a crowd there. So mongering chances are limited. Stick to the clubs if you want to hook up with someone at night.
Just from Madhouse, so if you'll excuse me.

Yes, check the malindi road (look at google maps, close up to see the hotel names.) and you'll see the creek. Check out the photos associated with it. Sorry don't know about the south.
Steve G: where's best to rent a car? I'm talking about self drive hire for the day, not car and driver hire.

Posts: 478South of Mombasa?
Another question, about South (please continue answer to first question about North also).
My travel agency tries to get me to visit in the South beaches of Mombasa also, in Diani beach. Is ther something special to see there?
And how about night life?

So this "bridge of the creek" is this Mtwapa town that is often mentioned? Mtwapa town and surroundings is good place for night life / mongering?
Also I see often Bamburi beach mentioned in the reports.
It looks in the map that Bamburi beach is not far away from Mtwapa town, just a few kilometers or couple of miles.
So is Bamburi beach place to take hotel, or Mtwapa town?
I see complains that difficult to get taxis and they are expensive, can it be that I get stuck to Bamburi beach if I go there?

I agree its not immediately obvious.
This is my understanding of the area.
Mombasa is the large town of the area. Its on the coast and has some nightlife.
Going north there seems to be about 2 miles of an urban area called nyali, with nyali beach. I can't find any recomends for this area, quite the opposite.
Then things improve: on Google maps its called Jomo Kenyatt beach, however it appears to have Bamburi beach resort and also be called bamburi beach.
Some 2 or 3 further miles north there's the small settlement of Mtwapa, which is inland around a creek, and next to it by the coast is an area called Shenzu.
Across the bridge of the creek seems to be the area with the most nightlife Casaurina, Kenda's Ocean arcade etc.
I could be wrong. I'm going week after next so I'll update you all.

Posts: 478What is the place to book hotel in Mombasa?
I am planning to visit Kenya after one week, going to Nairobi and doing safari. I am also planning to visit Mombasa for a few days after two weeks and I have read Forum to find out where to book hotel in Mombasa but I am very confused now.
I don't know anything about Mombasa so all these different names and parts of town / beaches mentioned in the Forum are confusing me.
I want to visit lot of bars and clubs, or maybe just one very good bar or club all the time. I want to have some beach time but night life / mongering are more important. Is there night life / mongering in the beach also (Bamburi Beach?) or is it better to book hotel from some downtown and just visit beaches by day?
As a reference, when I went to Nairobi first time this year I learnt from Forum that Chelsea Apartments is good hotel and Florida Madhouse is a good club, so I stayed in Chelsea and visited Florida Madhouse everynight and I was happy. Well I visited many other clubs also.
Also, is Mombasa better for holiday / night life / mongering than Nairobi? I haven't decided yet how much time I spend in Nairobi and host much time in Mombasa (I hope that this last question does not start any flame war).

Posts: 272Thanks Spartan.
Charging's OK, this is a monger board after all. I haven't time to "pretend" to have a relationship. I'll probably get some wheels and then I've got mobility without the hassle of the cabbie. I do have a smartphone with google maps, so hopefully the Nairobi SIM will do the trick.
Looking forward to the visit.

1. There are pools all over the place. And if you want to use one where you are not staying, there should be a bar somewhere and you'll blend right in.
2. Depends what you are looking for. Casaurina and Tembo girls will most likely charge for their time. You may get lucky at Big Tree, Lambada and Kendas. Rank. Casaurina (variety) , Big Tree, Lambada, Tembo, Kendas. Keep a look out on events and beach parties advertised when you are there.
3. Casablanca. Bobs and Bella Vista also come to mind. The latter is filled with young employed Kenyans.
4. Yeah, that's about right. Try the shopping malls too.
5. Mombasa is pretty small, so you can find your way very easily. Rent a car if you like checking out all clubs in a single night. I do that a lot. Diani is a good place to. Brilliant beaches but you'll have to go over the ferry. Renting a car will be cheaper than a cabbie. As weel, invest in a smart phone and get Google Maps.
6. There are ATMs in Mtwapa.
7. Depends on your budget. There are new apartments coming up all over mtwapa. The whole town is girl friendly. Check out.
www.4321.co.il
For rentable apartments.
8. Get the SIM in Nairobi. Safaricom has the best 3G Network. So Internet will work just fine.
9. It is busier than normal, but much better than in December. The Wildebeest migration at the Mara has taken the attention this time of the year.
10. Mombasa seems to be the only place in the country that the Liquor law does not affect. You can buy alcohol from the Supermarket. Nakumatt has a good selection. If you are into Whisky though, stock up on JD duty free. You'll get used to the minarets. They are not that bad.

Posts: 272Preparation questions
My plan is to get some accommodation in mtwapa or the local beach hotels.
1. Is it easy for a mzungu to use the pool and facilities of the bigger hotels, even if they're not staying there?
2. In descending order of popularity with the local girls: Casaurina, Tembo, Big Tree, Lambada, Kenda's Arcade bar?
3. What are the other names of bars\clubs I should visit in my quest for a diferent 18-23yr old big titted companion every night.
4. I prefer one in afternoon and another in evening. Is the best strategy to walk the beach afternoon, then after business is concluded, disco or club?
5. Is it possible or worth it to rent a car, are there significant opportunities in other local towns or beaches?
6. Do I need to sort my money out in mombasa or are there ATM; s in Mtwapa?
7. Any up to date recommends on girl friendly apartments with good bathroom facilities (nice bit of hygiene always helps with the personal services).
8. Can I get a kenyan sim card at nairobbery when I've a 3 hour stopover or one in mombasa. Would be good to be able to get internet access?
9. Just how busy is this area now and sept, is the somalia food crisis crap affecting mzungu numbers. I get the feeling its emptied the planes from the UK a bit and forced down the ticket costs.
10. Just how muslim is this area: is alcohol widely available (to buy locally or should I load up in Nairobi, duty free?) , and am I likely to be kept awake by the wailing from the minarets?
I've read about 30 pages of the forum so far, I'm concerned to get up to date info.

Don't worry about any of the damsels requiring persuasion to disrobe (Mombasa is not like Addis ).
Have fun!
And yes : Nairobi is worth a stopover.
