Ali Barbour's Cave

Would you prefer a table in your own corner of an ancient cave or a spot under the stars? That's the choice for diners at one of Kenya's most romantic restaurants, set in a cavern that is hundreds of thousands of years old. The candle-lit cave is made up of a series of interlinking chambers, creating romantic nooks and crannies, with an open patio so diners can also opt to eat under the stars.

Situated 30km south of Mombasa, the cave was converted into a restaurant 33 years ago by husband and wife, George & Jackie Barbour. Rather appropriately named Ali Barbour's Cave, the restaurant welcomes up to 80 guests a night for the unique dining experience.

The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum

While Honolulu’s Bishop museum features several different exhibits ranging from Earth science to art, what really makes this museum unique is its collection of items of importance from the Hawai’ian people and their culture, which is unparalleled, and visiting the Bishop Museum means you are in Hawai’i, which is pretty excellent.
