Exploring Mombasa. What a great city. Worth the visit. #africa #troveon #travel #mombasa #culture
Manda Island is a secluded island off the coast of Lamu, Kenya.  The perfect place to relax and spend wonderful afternoons enjoying the cool ocean breeze while lounging on these bed swings.
It is also possible to walk above/through the mangrove forests on some wooden bridges that have been built.
