🔌 Plugs
No. Sockets are the same as in the UK (type G), so your UK plugs fit. The voltage (240V) is close to the UK's 230V, so UK appliances work with just a plug adapter.
🕒 Time
Mombasa is 3 hours ahead of the UK in the UK winter and 2 hours ahead of the UK in the UK summer (the clocks change on different dates).
💶 Money
Mombasa uses the Kenyan shilling (KES). Around 10% in restaurants. Safari guides and drivers are usually tipped per day.
