The island and the city are connected with the continent by two bridges.<\/div>\n<div><strong>Conquered by Arabs, Portugueses, Arabs again and then British<\/strong>, this city has grown as a multicultural place. The population is mainly Muslim but you still find Christian churches, European architectures and modern buildings in<strong> a wonderful mix surrounded by the sea and the wild.<\/strong> Not far from the city there is the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary, worth the visit.<\/div>\n<h2>Mombasa, old and new<\/h2>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fort_Jesus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Fort Jesus<\/strong><\/a> is the defensive castle built by the Portugueses in the 16th century. Made of stone, its square towers overlook the city reminding of old times. But its walls keep Mombasa Military Museum, the history of local army from past times to nowadays. You certainly cannot miss the greatest monument and symbol of the city: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sw.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pembe_za_ndovu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pembe Za Ndovu<\/a>, a big sculpture representing four elephant tusks<\/strong> forming two gates over the main street. Elephants are important for Mombasa, which is not far from a natural sanctuary dedicated to these animals.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary was founded in 1995<\/strong> with the aim of protecting the migration of the big animals. It creates a safe &#8220;corridor&#8221; of wild nature, where men cannot touch them, but they can come and admire their natural life. A safari in Mwaluganje will let you admire<strong> over 150 elephants<\/strong>, at safe distance both for you and them. More to see in Mombasa city: the beautiful <strong>waterfront<\/strong>, where you can also enjoy restaurants, hotels and shops; <strong>Mamba Village<\/strong>, a place where to admire reptiles and insect into old kenyan huts; <strong>McKinnon Market<\/strong>, the typical african food market in the middle of a modern city.
