Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Wade the glassy tidal flats outside Mombasa for bonefish, permit, and giant trevally with a master guide. An utterly exclusive saltwater experience on the Indian Ocean's most storied coast.
Step inside 16th-century Fort Jesus at dawn before the crowds arrive, guided by a specialist historian. This Portuguese citadel-turned-Omani fortress is one of East Africa's most significant UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Sail by traditional dhow to the pristine Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park — Kenya's finest coral reef — and snorkel with spinner dolphins in their natural habitat before a seafood feast on Wasini Island.
Escape to Africa's finest white-sand beach — Diani, rated among the world's best — in absolute privacy at a luxury villa, with a personal butler, infinity pool, and Indian Ocean views that erase all sense of time.
Walk beside Rothschild's giraffes and hand-feed rescued hippos at Mombasa's celebrated Haller Park, a remarkable ecological rehabilitation story guided by an expert naturalist in an intimate private session.
Wander the aromatic lanes of Old Town Mombasa with a Swahili chef, visiting spice traders and local market stalls before a private rooftop cooking class overlooking the harbour. A deeply sensory taste of 1,000 years of Indian Ocean trade.
