The world’s largest floating book fair, with a wide-ranging collection of more than 5,000 books, has been docked at the Kenyan port city of Mombasa for the past seven weeks. It will provide avid readers with an exceptional opportunity for learning and discovery.
The MV Logos Hope arrived in the East African country after a stint at the Seychelles Islands. Visitors arriving from shore can freely explore its selection. The vessel’s crew are confident they will find something that piques their interest.
