Mombasa Revisited

By Neil McClure

Mombasa is an ancient port city on the east coast of Africa. Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, it is a lively and fervent metropolis that is overflowing with color and contrast. Mombasas diverse multicultural community is made up of people of various religious backgrounds, such as Christians, Muslims, and Hindus. The people hail from a mixture of tribal and ethnic roots. Such diversity makes for an interesting place full of very interesting people with a deep understanding of community, tolerance, and cooperation.
The images in this book were captured on four separate trips to Mombasa and surrounding areas over a five-year period from 20092014.
