The Mombasa tusks, also referred to as Mapemba ya Ndovu[1] or Pembe za Ndovu (Swahili for elephant tusks),[2] form a monument over Moi Avenue, a major thoroughfare in Mombasa, Kenya. Built in the 1950s to commemorate visits by the British royal family, the monument originally comprised two wooden structures resembling tusks; nowadays, there are four aluminium tusks in an M shape. The monument is under the jurisdiction of the National Museums of Kenya in addition to the city's municipal government.
