Although the history around the Fort is interesting, the Fort itself is not really well maintained and seems a bit dangerous with lots of people hanging around.

Had a great trip to Fort Jesus. Quite well preserved, with fantastic overlooking views of Mombasa Harbor. This fort has a very interesting history. We had a great guide that we picked up on the street outside the entrance, well worth the nominal fee. But make sure you get a licensed guide, who will also take you around Old Town... More

This is a fort that has been in place for hundreds of years. It was also a jail. If you go to Mombasa... PLEASE visit this place. It is awesome!

The fort itself was quite well preserved given that it was such an old building. Had a well informed guide who explained the fory history in detail. Overall a sight worth seeing.

Well if you have not been to Fort Jesus then you were not in Mombasa! Every body knows that's the first place people get to visit in Mombasa but personally,I was a little disappointed. To start with their rates have been doubled.The minite you step out of the tuk tuk, a group of guys surround you some want to take... More

I can't give a review of the inside of this fort, because I refused to pay the entrance fee of 1200 KSh, around US $15, which I considered to be extortionate. The outside is as one might expece, tall and imposing and overlooking the river esturay and the ocean.

when you get to fort jesus you can wander on your own or have a guide, the ruins are a sight to see and enjoy, when you exit the fort cross the road and you can wander around the old town,and you will nopt get lost.

Historic monument that has been preserved relatively well. A lovely view too of the Indian Ocean! A must see in Mombasa!

Not sure what we expected but it was just another so so run down monument.lots of steps so if you are planning to visit go before it gets to hot.
