How do I travel from Mombasa to Kilifi?

To travel from Mombasa to Kilifi, you just need to take the Mombasa-Malindi highway and drive straight to Kilifi town (which is widely viewed as the midway point on the Mombasa Malindi journey). So from Mombasa CBD you can move to Saba Saba junction, turn right at Saba Saba, then go past the Nyali Bridge, past Bombolulu and cross the Mtwapa bridge. After Mtwapa, you pass through towns like Majengo/Kanamai, past Shariani, past the Vipingo sisal plantations, past Takaungu (where the road takes a turn) and past Mavueni junction town, to finally arrive at Kilifi. You will need to cross what is known as the Kilifi bridge on the Indian Ocean, to access the Kilifi town proper.

Kilifi town is quite big. It is host to many residential estates, the Kilifi County Referral hospital, the Kilifi Governor’s office and Kilifi Governor’s residence as well as various Kilifi tourist hotels. Kilifi town is also home to the Pwani University, whose main campus is at Kibaoni area of Kilifi town, near where the road connecting Kilifi to Ganze and Bamba Towns branches off. Many of the residents of Kilifi town are Giriama, but various other coastal and Kenyan upcountry tribes also have a strong presence in Kilifi town. Kilifi is also home to a big cashewnuts processing plant in Kiwandani area.
