Mombasa Tusks
最佳游览时间
At daybreak, around 6:30 am, the roadway is still clear and the aluminum blazes in the raking light. Avoid midday, when the vertical sun and traffic stifle the avenue.
预算提示
Access is completely free, the thoroughfare is public: no ticket or schedule to respect. Keep a few shillings in your pocket if a vendor offers you a souvenir photo session, and agree on the price before committing.
推荐给
Photographers, Travelers on a stopover, Those curious about urban symbols, Morning walkers

关于
快速信息: 很少有司机知道,他们行驶在每座重达近半吨的中空铝制象牙之下,选用这种金属是为了抵御印度洋海盐的侵蚀。主要的一对象牙于1952年竖起,以迎接一位女王的到访,两座拱门在大街上空交汇却从未相触。
亮点: 落日从两座拱门之间穿过,将铝材点亮成橘色光芒,洒满整条车道的宽度。蒙巴萨人只简单相约在“象牙之下”:这是全城唯一一个从马塔图司机到港口渔夫,人人都知道确切位置的地标。
内部小贴士
- Come on a Sunday morning, when the street calms down and the sugarcane juice vendors set up at the foot of the pillars.
- Position yourself halfway under the arch and shoot upward toward the sky for the most spectacular angle.
- Cross in a group with the locals, since traffic remains heavy even outside peak hours.
- Watch your belongings during photos and leave large bags aside, as pickpockets operate in the crowd of the nearby market.
