Mombasa
Kenya’s second largest city, Mombasa, is another prime destination for business and tourism. The coastal city has many historical sites such as Gedi Ruins, Old Town and the Fort Jesus Museum.

Like Nairobi, Mombasa embraces its natural surroundings with attractions

like Haller Park, Nguuni Nature Sanctuary  and Natural World Safari.

As for business, several of Mombasa’s resorts include large conference centers such as Sarova Whitesands Resort, Club Sun n’ Sand, Mombasa Continental Resort, New Outrigger HotelNyali Beach Hotel, and Reef Hotel.

Kisumu
Beside Lake Victoria, Kenya’s third largest city, Kisumu, has much to offer visitors.

The western city holds historical attractions like Kisumu Museum and the Songhor Pre-Historic Site. Areas like Dunga Bay highlight Kisumu’s natural place alongside Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake.

Kisumu’s three largest conference centers are Milimani Resort, St. Anna Guest House and Jumuia Resort.
