Ayna

Saim’s journey to Kenya continues in this second installment as we take a look at the coastal city of Mombasa. Historically an active trade town due to its ocean front location, Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya. Watch as a coconut harvester scales a tree in bare feet and lowers the heavy fruit to the ground with a single rope. Visit a crocodile farm where the animals are raised for their skins and meat. This popular tourist attraction is especially crowded at feeding time when visitors get a good view of the crocs’ powerful jaws in action. Stroll through the Masai Market and browse through countless beautifully handcrafted items from jewelry to musical instruments. Admire the architecture of Jamia Mosque, the most prominent mosque in this predominantly Muslim country. View the lush fields of coffee and tea farms that provide Kenya with one of its key industries. Learn even more about life in Kenya this week on “Ayna.”
