Make the trip count
Practical context for delegates flying in — what to do after class, where the local industry clusters, what to expect on the ground.
Things to do after class
8A historic neighbourhood of narrow streets reflecting Swahili, Arab, Asian, Portuguese and British architectural influences — ideal for a walking tour.

Industry clusters worth visiting
4Sector hubs your delegates can map a site visit, guest speaker, or post-class field study against.
Maritime & Port Logistics
- Kenya Ports Authority (KPA)
- Kenya Ferry Services
The Port of Mombasa is one of the largest and busiest in East and Central Africa, with direct connectivity to over 80 ports worldwide, making maritime logistics the city's dominant economic sector.
Tourism & Hospitality
- Kenya Tourism Board
- Kenya Wildlife Service
Mombasa is Kenya's premier coastal tourism destination, with beach resorts, marine parks and proximity to Tsavo and Shimba Hills driving a large hospitality workforce.
Manufacturing & Refining
- Bamburi Cement (LafargeHolcim)
- Kenya Pipeline Company
Mombasa hosts a cement plant, oil refinery, steel mill and aluminium rolling mill, forming an industrial base linked to the port's import-export flows.
Telecommunications & BPO
- Safaricom
Major intercontinental undersea telecom cables land near Mombasa, supporting a growing call-centre and business process outsourcing cluster in the region.
Training venue
Mombasa offers a range of hotels from international-standard beach resorts in Nyali and Diani to business-class properties on Mombasa Island, many of which have conference and training facilities. Delegates should confirm venue AV equipment and room layout in advance, as standards vary.
Getting there
Moi International Airport (IATA: MBA) is approximately 10 km from Mombasa city centre, with a transfer time of about 20–25 minutes. Licensed Kenatco taxis are available outside both terminals; rideshare apps (Uber, Bolt, Little) also operate in Mombasa, and pre-booked private transfers are recommended for groups.
Visa
Kenya replaced traditional visas with an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) from January 2024. Most non-African nationals must apply via etakenya.go.ke at least 7 days before travel (~USD 32–34); many African nationals are exempt following the May 2025 expansion. Confirm your specific eligibility on the official eTA portal.
Safety
Mombasa is generally welcoming to visitors, but delegates should use licensed taxis or rideshare apps rather than informal transport, especially after dark. Keep valuables discreet, stay aware in crowded market areas, and carry a copy of your passport rather than the original.
