- Viewpoint
- Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the harbor from the water or Kivukoni Ferry approach toward the historic waterfront, showing coconut palm fronds and wooden dhows in the foreground, the whitewashed bell tower of Azania Front Church and waterfront trees in the middle-ground, and the modern city skyline and Kigamboni Bridge fading in the background.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick canopies of flame trees along Kivukoni Front, coconut palms along Msasani, and coastal mangroves.
- Guarded against
- Not Mombasa, Stone Town Zanzibar, or Maputo
