Mombasa Elephant Tusks

The Port City of Mombasa on Tuesday witnessed the unveiling of a luxury double-decker bus for sightseeing at the historical Elephant Tusks. The inauguration comes at a time when Mombasa is preparing to host the Global Skal Congress, a meeting for tourism executives from all over the world at Pride Inn Paradise Beach Resort, Convention Centre and Spa next month.

The bus painted in colours of the Kenyan national flag. Mombasa Sightseeing Limited, the owners of the bus, said that they were delighted at starting the new service in the Port city of Mombasa which is a tourist hub.

”We are obliged to the support and guidance we have received from all stakeholders and pledge to do our best to ensure that the new bus service will cater up to its billing as luxury bus provider of choice,” said Everlyne Lele, Chief Executive Officer, Mombasa Sightseeing Limited.

Mombasa Catholic Archbishop Martin Kivuva led special prayers to dedicate the new bus service and announced that he was ready to open up the century old Holy Ghost Cathedral to tourists on sightseeing and city tours.

“We plan to introduce similar buses in Nairobi with a probable date being January 2019,” added Lele

Speaking at the function, Jonah Orumoi, Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Finance Corporation (TFC), termed it as a move in the right direction for new tourism experience in Mombasa.
