Mombasa Tusks

The tasks were first built in 1952 to welcome queen Elizabeth for the first time she visited Mombasa. The first material was wood and later on the government of Kenya decided to change it and make it in aluminium for it to last for a longer period of time.The tasks are two bringing in letter M meaning Mombasa,so today this is the land mark of Mombasa.The tourists do come to this place and take pictures proving that they are in Mombasa.Here tourists will enjoy the history and take as many pictures as they want.Next to the elephant tasks there is a garden called Uhuru garden meaning freedom.Before Kenya got independence locals used to go in the garden and talk everything bad about the British but they could not be arrested.Immediately they step out of the garden and talk anything bad about the British they will be arrested so it is still a freedom area until today where people move freely.The place is also know for a lot of bats which are on top of the trees making them hang upside down.

At this place the tourist will enjoy the history and the view of the Indian Ocean. This place was first under the Portuguese and it was called baobab garden as it used to have so many baobab trees. It still has some baobabs and the locals make some natural candies from this,the tourist will have a chance to see the candies and also taste if interested.This place has a tunnel that heads to Fort Jesus Museum.Here there was a governor appointed by the King Victoria by the British.His favourite place of worship the five daily prayers was Mbaraki mosque later on he established a pillar called Mbaraki pillar to date.Near Mbaraki pillar there are war memorial graveyard of first world war and second world war.Opposite the cemetery there is a Little Theatre where doctors were and it's where the casualties of the first world war and second world war were treated.To the modern day the current place where Mbaraki war graves are located still retains the name Mbaraki estate.Mombasa is Cosmopolitan.
