When visiting Mombasa be aware this is a poor country! If you show off your gold, diamonds, money and phone you may become a target for local thieves. Ladies should not walk around with handbags, ruck sack's etc. Carry small amounts of money around with you, maybe in your bra, a money belt, or deep in your pockets if they are tight. Maybe also carry two separate stashes; if you are unlucky enough to be robbed, give them the small amount and hope that they run off.
