Mombasa Tusks
Pembe Mbili, Moi Avenue, Mombasa, KenyaAbout
Mombasa Tusks. On Moi Avenue. The tusks were built in 1956 to celebrate Princess Margaret's visit to Mombasa town. They are located at the entrance to the city; they are not made of ivory as is sometimes thought, but of aluminum. An interesting thing to note is that the tusks form dual archways over each side of the road creating the shape in entirety of an 'M' for Mombasa or Margaret!![](https://irs3.4sqi.net/img/general/200x200/znWVMriNt4PJa8zVdiWC8G_JYtcCPQusbpptKgduqm0.jpg)
