Food and drink on a Mombasa safari tour
As Mombasa is a tourist destination, it has a reputation as a melting pot of Kenya’s various culinary traditions. The country is home to numerous ethnic groups, huge tracts of arable land, a lengthy coastline, and a diverse weather system. All of this means you’ve got the recipe for something special. With that said, there are definitely some dishes that are enjoyed all across the country – like nyama choma, grilled meats – but each region tends to have its own favourites.
One thing you’ll definitely have to try on your Mombasa holiday is ugali, a thick porridge that’s made from cornflour, which you can shape into a ball and use as a tasty mop for stew-like dishes. Then there’s other unforgettable dishes, like irio and githeri, both packed full of flavour, as well as all the food influenced by the city’s large Indian population. And, of course, you must treat yourself to the local coffee and Kenyan chai.
