Mombasa is a real coastal city in Kenya, which is the top country in this map. Also, if you look in the bottom right corner, you'll see an island on the map. That is the real life Zanzibar; a tiny island off the coast of Tanzania. Now everyone can look on Mapquest, or whatever map of your choice and see just where everything is taking place.
