Neighborhoods

Galu is the area where Kenyaways is located. It was the last area to be developed and therefore the most preserved. These days you can get restaurants and small shops in Galu but for most things you need to go to Diani or Ukunda.

Ukunda is the town on the main road before you turn towards Diani Beach road. It has banks, super markets, traders, hardwares, everything you can possibly think of. Its quite busy and noisy and dirty and most of the lower income workers live in this area. There are some interesting stalls and markets selling local items.

I love just wondering the streets of Mombasa, taking photos of the old buildings, walking into shops like treasure troves selling all sorts and sampling all the different food stalls. You can also do Fort Jesus and have a nice Swahili or Indian lunch.
