I'm looking for something that would definitively tie her to Mombasa. If it was merely to fly home, Nairobi is the capitol city and a whole lot closer to the ancestral village, so why not Nairobi?

Mombasa was the capitol in 1961. I suspect it's also where the international airport happened to be, for that very reason...

I'm not expert in this, but Encyclopedia Britannica says otherwise. Perhaps Mombasa was the capitol of the Coastal Province?
