Mombasa's Best Kept Secret 🇰🇪

I was just about to leave Mombasa before I was told about an area given to people that were freed by the British Royal Navy from slavery. The land was donated Sir Bartle Frere in the 1840's and was used as a resettlement area for people taken from their homelands and intercepted by the Royal navy on their way to Zanzibar slave markets.

Although freed, they weren't allowed to speak their native tongue or practice their traditional tribal lifestyle. Only permitted to use Swahili and English to speak with and Christianity was to become the religion.

600 acres of land was donated, but over time that land is now only 50 acres. I went to see what life is like there now, made a couple of friends and discovered a hidden gem of Mombasa on the way....
