Frequently asked questions about hotels in Kenya
What are the best landmarks to visit in Kenya?
Kenya boasts incredible landmarks. For wildlife, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is unparalleled for its Great Migration, while Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks offer diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife. Amboseli National Park provides stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Beyond wildlife, the historical sites of Lamu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the coastal fortresses like Fort Jesus in Mombasa are captivating. For stunning scenery, consider the Great Rift Valley.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Kenya?
A safari is a must, experiencing the incredible wildlife in the national parks and reserves. A hot air balloon safari over the Maasai Mara is breathtaking. Visiting a Maasai village offers cultural immersion. Exploring the beaches of Diani or Watamu provides relaxation. For something different, consider climbing Mount Kenya or exploring the stunning landscapes of Lake Nakuru.
The best time to visit Kenya depends on your priorities. July to October is ideal for wildlife viewing during the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara. June to October offers the best weather overall. The shoulder seasons (March-May and September-October) offer a balance of good weather and fewer crowds. The wet season (November to May) brings lush landscapes but can impact travel.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Kenya?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Kenya?
For a week, consider basing yourself in Nairobi for easy access to attractions and then heading to a national park like the Maasai Mara or Amboseli for a safari experience. Alternatively, you could spend the entire week on the coast in Diani or Watamu, enjoying the beaches and watersports. If you prefer a more cultural experience, Lamu offers a unique and historical setting.
Which parts of Kenya are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a weekend, the coast is perfect. Diani Beach offers beautiful beaches and resorts, while Watamu offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Alternatively, Lake Naivasha offers a shorter safari experience with opportunities for boat trips and birdwatching.
Renting a car is possible, but not always recommended, especially for exploring national parks. Self-drive safaris require experience with driving on often rough terrain. For most travellers, joining organised tours is safer and more convenient, especially for accessing remote areas.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Kenya?
Credit cards are accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and shops in major cities like Nairobi and Mombasa, but cash is still king, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. It's advisable to carry sufficient Kenyan shillings for smaller transactions and tips.
What are the largest airports in Kenya?
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi is the largest and busiest airport. Moi International Airport (MBA) in Mombasa is another significant airport, serving the coastal region.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Kenya?
Dress modestly when visiting religious sites or rural areas. Always ask permission before taking photographs of people. Bargaining is common in markets. Being respectful of local customs and traditions is essential. Learn a few basic Swahili phrases – it's appreciated.
What local specialities should you try in Kenya?
Nyama Choma (grilled meat) is a must-try. Try other dishes like Mukimo (mashed potatoes, maize, beans, and greens), Pilau (spiced rice), and various seafood dishes along the coast. Don't forget to sample fresh tropical fruits.
Where are the best shopping spots in Kenya?
The Maasai Market offers handcrafted souvenirs and Maasai jewellery. Nairobi has numerous malls and shops. Mombasa's markets offer spices, textiles, and local crafts. Remember to haggle respectfully in markets.
What signature events or festivals take place in Kenya?
The annual Lamu Cultural Festival celebrates the rich Swahili culture of Lamu Island. Various local festivals and celebrations take place throughout the year, often linked to specific tribes or regions. Check local listings closer to your travel dates for specific events.
What’s the best place in Kenya for mild and comfortable weather?
The highlands around Nairobi and areas like the Aberdares offer generally mild and comfortable weather throughout the year. The coastal areas also tend to have a milder climate than inland regions, but it can be hot and humid.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Kenya?
Not planning ahead and booking accommodation and safaris in advance, especially during peak season. Underestimating the cost of travel, neglecting necessary vaccinations and malaria precautions, and not being aware of local customs and safety guidelines.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Kenya?
The Arabuko Sokoke Forest, a coastal rainforest, offers unique biodiversity and hiking trails. Lake Bogoria, known for its geysers and flamingos, is a lesser-known gem. The Chyulu Hills offer stunning scenery and hiking opportunities. Explore smaller national parks and reserves beyond the famous ones for a more intimate wildlife experience.
