The Mombasa Tusks, also known as Pembe za Ndovu, are iconic landmarks located in the coastal city of Mombasa, Kenya. Erected in 1952 to commemorate the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to the city, the tusks are constructed from aluminum and are designed to form the letter "M" for Mombasa. Situated on Moi Avenue, one of the main thoroughfares in the city, the tusks symbolize the historical significance of Mombasa as a major port and gateway to East Africa.
