You will stay with the Maasai at Muteleu Village. This Village is a real Eco Camp, because it was built by village women according to
traditions respecting the environment and culture - the most eco way possible, no trees were cut down neither destroying any plants, but
it was built using very local materials like dry wood, cow-dug, straw and mud and the floor is paved with Galana stone - in order to give
the tourist an unforgettable experience and for the local people to go on living without forgetting their origins.

to Mombasa old Town and Fort Jesus.
Fort Jesus is perhaps the most popular attraction in the Old Town.
Constructed by the Portuguese during 1593-1596 and designed by
an Italian architect, Cairati, Fort Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. Although it is partly damaged, Fort Jesus is a fine display of
16th-century Portuguese military architecture. Originally used by
the Portuguese, the imposing structure rests upon a coral ridge at
the entrance of the old town harbor, and its strategic location has
resulted in many battles for its control. The site has also been used
as soldier barracks and a prison before being obtained by the
Trustees of the Kenya National Museum in 1958, and the on-site
museum was opened in 1962 Enjoy the exhibition of the wide
collection of ceramics and pottery reflecting the various cultures
that traded along the coast. Within the compound are many
fascinating battlements and derelict buildings including the Omani
house, a building with Omani jewelry and displays on Swahili life.
After the fort, your guide leads you into alleys of Old Town, the
original Mombasa city that was built in the 13th century and still
maintains many significant architectural features of the time, such
as filigree timber balconies, beautifully carved wooden doors,
Indian and colonial designs and more than 20 mosques, and in
1985, the area received protected status as a conservation project to
preserve the historically significant buildings.

At Gedi you are taken back to a 12th-century Swahili settlement that served as a model of other townships along the coast of East Africa. Evidence
shows that portions of the original settlement were rebuilt during the 15th and 16th centuries as a result of an increasing population from
surrounding coastal villages and towns. The mosques, palaces, houses and other structures demonstrate the abundant growth of wealth that was
enjoyed by the townspeople until the 15th century, and the mystery of the Gede lies in the ultimate abandonment of the fruitful and thriving town
two centuries later. Studies of the ruins have revealed many factors that may have motivated the people of Gedi to leave behind the idyllic setting
of the beautiful rural metropolis that was built within an ancient forest, such as the 1589 raids of the Wazimba along the coast of East Africa, the
eventual demise of the Sheikh of Malindi and Portuguese loss of Mombasa in 1593 and the ever-present threat of a raid by the Galla tribespeople of
Somalia. Archaeologists have also found that the inhabitants deepened the well outside the Great Mosque, an indication that the water table was
growing significantly harder to reach, leaving the people without a necessary resource.
