Tourism and Cultural Heritage

One of the exciting things about Pwani University; it is located in Kilifi Town, one of the oldest Towns on the East African Coast about 60km from Mombasa Town, the main tourist attraction site in Kenya. It is located in a region which facilitates a favorable environment for students to interact with tourists from external societies. These make it the most diverse educational facility and the best for tourism students. And for someone who has a great interest in traveling, outdoor activities, tourism, and historic studies; Pwani University is the best since it is situated in the coastal region of the Indian Ocean and a few miles from the historic sites or UNICEP cultural centers like the Lamu Old Town, The Sacred Mijikenda Kaya Forests, Fort Jesus, Mombasa: An Architectural Masterpiece.
