    Ausgewählte Orte waren sehr interessant und für Mombasa / Kenia wichtig gesehen zu haben - hätten jedoch auch schon zuvor angekündigt worden sein, um sich darauf vorbereiten zu können!

    Gefallen haben uns die ausgewählten Besichtigungspunkte, sowie die fachkundige Betreuung und Sicherheit während des Ausfluges. Außerdem sprach unser Guide neben dem ausgewiesenem Englisch für uns auch in Deutsch, das war sehr angenehm. Die lange und umständliche An- und Abreise mit der Fähre nach und von Mombasa hat uns nicht gefallen, lange Wartezeiten auf jeder Seite. Aber gemäß unseres Guide soll aber Insidern Jahr noch die langersehnte Brücke fertig gestellt werden und die Fähren ersetzen.
