Summary

On August 27, 2015, Cloudflare announced its 43rd point of presence (PoP) and second in Africa, located in Mombasa, Kenya. This marks the company's first PoP situated within a real-life castle-turned-data center. The new location serves networks across East Africa, reaching millions of Internet users in the region. In recent years, Africa has experienced significant growth in its underlying internet infrastructure, with international bandwidth multiplying twentyfold and internet penetration reaching 20%. Cloudflare's expansion into East Africa aims to foster the development of the African internet ecosystem by reducing latency for users in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Mauritius.
