How do I travel from Mombasa to Kwale?

Well the most straightforward way to travel from Mombasa to Kwale is first through the Mombasa to Lunga Lunga highway, then you turn right at Kombani and travel on to Kwale town. So this is assuming that you want to get to Kwale town itself. Coming from the Mombasa CBD, you find your way to the ferry, then wait to be ferried to the Likoni side, from where you take the Lunga Lunga highway. You go past Likoni neighborhoods like Kona Polisi, past Harambee, past Likoni flats, past Kona Mpya, past Ujamaa and past Shika Adabu. You go past Denyenye, and into the somewhat rural parts, to finally get to Kombani junction (where you will find numerous signposts for facilities that are in Kwale Town). So you turn right at the said Kombani junction, and drive for around 15 kilometers to arrive at Kwale Town.
Kwale Town Golini serves as the headquarters for Kwale County. So that is where you find the the Kwale Governor’s office, Kwale County Commissioner’s office, the Kwale Law courts among other things, including schools like Kwale High School. 
Kwale town is one of those civil servants towns that have a certain nice tranquility to them.
I reckon that Kwale town is in Matuga constituency.
If you are coming from Nairobi and heading to Kwale Town, you don't have to drive all the way to Mombasa. You can opt to turn right at Samburu Town (on the Mombasa Nairobi highway), then drive on to Kinango and from Kinango to Kwale town. So instead of going to Mombasa, passing through the ferry and driving on to Kwale town, you turn right at Samburu Town, take the newly tarmacked Samburu to Kinango road, then from Kinango find yourself to Kwale town. But that route works well if you are in a reliable vehicle and during the daytime, as some parts of it are very deserted.
