Walking

If you are in Mombasa town, start at the main bus station (Mombasa Terminus). From there, walk towards Moi Avenue. Continue straight until you reach the junction with Nkrumah Road. Turn left onto Nkrumah Road and proceed until you reach the harbor area. Keep walking along the harbor promenade until you reach the Old Port area. From the Old Port, you’ll need to find a local boat service that can take you across to the northern coast, where Ganahola Creek is located. Be sure to negotiate the fare and ask for directions to Ganahola Creek once you are on the boat. The creek is a short distance from the docking point.

Bicycle

For those who prefer cycling, rent a bicycle from one of the local rental shops in Mombasa. Start from Fort Jesus and cycle along the coastal road heading north. Continue cycling past Nyali Bridge and towards the northern beaches. Keep an eye out for signs pointing to Ganahola Creek or ask locals along the way for directions. The ride will take approximately 30-45 minutes depending on your speed and the traffic conditions.

Public Transport (Matatu)

From Mombasa town, head to the nearest matatu (shared taxi) stage, typically near Moi Avenue. Look for a matatu heading towards Nyali or Mtwapa. Inform the conductor that you want to get off at Nyali Bridge. Once you reach Nyali Bridge, get off and walk towards the coast. Ask for directions to Ganahola Creek from locals. It is a short walk from the bridge to the creek area.
