Mombasa holidays from Canada
Easy, affordable beach time with Swahili culture, fresh seafood and lively resort strips. If you are travelling from Canada, we plan the whole trip, including the right flights, a hotel that suits your style and the transfers and tours that make the holiday easy.
Getting to Mombasa from Canada
Most routes go via Nairobi, Doha, Dubai or Addis Ababa, then a short flight to Mombasa. We compare options for your dates and look at total travel time, not just price.
Time difference
Mombasa is about 7 to 8 hours ahead of Toronto, depending on daylight saving, so most travellers adjust quickly.
How long to stay
For travellers from Canada, a Mombasa holiday is usually 8 to 12 nights, to make the long journey worthwhile. We recommend 4–6 nights on the ground.
Best time to go
January to March and July to October are the driest and sunniest months. These are the best times for beach holidays on the Kenyan coast.
Entry requirements
Kenya requires most visitors to apply for an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) online before travel, and citizens of East African Community countries are generally exempt. Please check the current rules for your passport, and whether a yellow fever certificate is needed for your route.
Top experiences to include
- Fort Jesus and Old Town. A 16th-century fort and the winding streets of Mombasa's old quarter.
