Mombasa Tusks
The tasks were first built in 1952 to welcome queen Elizabeth for the first time she visited Mombasa. The first material was wood and later on the government of Kenya decided to change it and make it in aluminium for it to last for a longer period of time.The tasks are two bringing in letter M meaning Mombasa,so today this is the land mark of Mombasa.The tourists do come to this place and take pictures proving that they are in Mombasa.Here tourists will enjoy the history and take as many pictures as they want.Next to the elephant tasks there is a garden called Uhuru garden meaning freedom.Before Kenya got independence locals used to go in the garden and talk everything bad about the British but they could not be arrested.Immediately they step out of the garden and talk anything bad about the British they will be arrested so it is still a freedom area until today where people move freely.The place is also know for a lot of bats which are on top of the trees making them hang upside down.

Samira is amazing. She took me to the real gems of Mombasa. I felt very safe touring with her, she is a true essence of a local tour guide in Mombasa. She is knowledgeable, friendly and kind. She showed all the spots that I needed to see in Mombasa! I highly recommend her.
