Our Mombasa food tour offers guests a culinary experience carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Mombasa tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian and vegan diets as the number of tastings would be very limited ✔ Suitable for no pork, no seafood and halal diets ✔ Gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, mild nut allergies, are possible, though some tastings do not have alternatives available and the menu would be more limited If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Explore Mombasa’s Old Town on this 4-hour guided food tour featuring 15+ tastings from beloved street vendors and local eateries. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll discover the bold flavours of the Swahili coast. Come hungry as there are plenty of favourites such as crispy beef sambusas, fried pea fritters, and smoky beef skewers grilled over charcoal. Visit the historic spice market to taste seasonal tropical fruits and learn how centuries of Indian Ocean trade influenced the city’s cuisine.
 The tour is primarily on foot through the streets of Old Town, with a short ride on one of Mombasa’s iconic yellow rickshaws between stops.
 Along the way you’ll pause by the waterfront for traditional Swahili coffee and coconut sweets. Expect heartier dishes too including fish cooked in coconut and slow-cooked mutton mandhi served with tomato kachumbari. This is not fine dining, it’s a authentic introduction to the street food and everyday flavours locals love in Mombasa.

The tour concludes after 3.5-4 hours. You'll leave not only full, but with a much deeper understanding of Mombasa food culture and the confidence to continue eating your way through the country.
