Two enormous pairs of intersecting tusks stand proudly at the entrance of the city along Moi Avenue, creating striking archways over each side of the road. These tusks, crafted from aluminum in 1952, were designed to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's visit. Interestingly, they form an 'M', a nod to the city's name, Mombasa. The tusks have since become an iconic symbol of the city, offering a glimpse into its colonial history and its journey through time. If you're ever in Mombasa, don't miss the chance to snap a photo with this unique landmark. It's not just a perfect Instagram backdrop, but also a piece of history you can stand beneath.
