What is Magina Ngina?

Sitting on 26 acres overlooking the Kilindini Channel in Mombasa, Mama Ngina is a waterfront park that has now transformed Mombasa into not only a holiday and honeymoon destination but also into a recreational tourism hot spot. This park has undergone a complete refurbishment which included landscaping and paving the waterfront with concrete blocks, construction of a state-of-the-art amphitheatre, the Kilindini Cultural Centre, ablution blocks and two main gates leading to the park among other developments.

Tourists visiting the park will have a choice to treat themselves to cultural exhibitions, shopping, dining at open-air fresco restaurants and cafes or to relax at the breathtaking expansive site.

The project is designed to support a 24-hour economy and its layout includes a new jetty for water taxis. The Ministry of Tourism is already optimistic that the park will attract more local and foreign tourists to Mombasa, Kenya’s oldest town and the country’s second city.

President Kenyatta commissioned the construction of the park in January this year during which he expressed his expectation that the facility will help restore the glory of Mombasa as a top tourist destination in the region. The redevelopment that was undertaken by a local company, Suhufi Agencies, was completed in time to host the Mashujaa Day fete, which was held in Mombasa County as part of a rotational hosting of certain national celebrations by counties.

The mama Ngina waterfront park is here to give an extra choice of activity after your Kenya wildlife safaris. Many Africa wildlife safari enthusiasts who make safari in Kenya visit several of Kenya wildlife safari destinations such as Masai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, Tsavo East National Park, Aberdares National Park and Amboseli National Park.
