Frequently asked questions about holiday rentals in Kenya

  • What are the must-see places in Kenya?

    Kenya offers incredible diversity. For wildlife, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is iconic, known for its Great Migration. Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks are also fantastic, offering diverse landscapes and wildlife sightings.

For a cultural experience, visit Lamu Island, a Swahili coastal town with stunning architecture and a laid-back atmosphere.
  • What are the best Airbnb and holiday rentals in Kenya?

  • What are the typical activities to do in Kenya?

    Game drives in national parks are a must. Hot air balloon safaris offer breathtaking views of the landscape and wildlife. You can also go on walking safaris for a closer encounter with nature (always with a qualified guide). Cultural tours to Maasai villages provide insights into local life. Water activities like diving and snorkelling are available on the coast. Climbing Mount Kenya is a challenging but rewarding experience for experienced hikers.
  • What are the most popular Airbnbs in Kenya?

    Among the Airbnbs in Kenya, 3 Bedroom Apartment Samra K, The Nest In Karen and Kampi Ya Karin - Nairobi National Park are the most popular ones.

  • Which part of Kenya offers the most pleasant climate?

    The highlands around Nairobi and the Rift Valley offer a generally pleasant climate, with cooler temperatures than the coastal regions. The exact best time depends on personal preference, but these areas tend to avoid the extremes of heat and humidity.
  • What are the best holiday rentals with a pool in Kenya?

  • What airport options are there for reaching Kenya?

    Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi is the main international airport. Moi International Airport (MBA) in Mombasa is another significant airport, particularly convenient for those heading to the coast.
  • What are the best rentals for families and kids in Kenya?

  • Are there specific challenges to driving in Kenya that visitors should know?

    Driving in Kenya can be challenging. Roads can be poorly maintained, especially outside of major cities. Traffic in Nairobi is notoriously congested. Driving at night can be hazardous due to poor lighting and wildlife. It's advisable to use reputable car hire companies and consider hiring a driver, especially for longer journeys.

    The best holiday rentals or Airbnb with a jacuzzi in Kenya are Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa, Honeymoon Hut and Dar Meetii Villa Watamu 4 B/r+swimming Pool+chef.

    The Kenyan shilling (KES) is the official currency.
  • What are the top festivals to experience in Kenya?

    The Mombasa International Tausi Festival celebrates the rich Swahili culture with music, dance, and food. Many smaller, local festivals celebrating harvests and cultural events occur throughout the year, often linked to specific communities and tribes. Checking local event listings closer to your travel dates will give you the most up-to-date information.
  • What is the best time of year to visit Kenya?

    The best time to visit depends on your priorities. The dry season (June to October) is generally considered ideal for wildlife viewing, with clearer skies and easier game spotting. The shoulder seasons (March-May and September-October) offer a good compromise between wildlife viewing and fewer crowds.
  • What are some local dishes to try in Kenya?

    Nyama Choma (grilled meat) is a popular favourite. Try also Sukuma Wiki (collard greens), Ugali (a maize flour porridge), and Mutura (a type of blood sausage). Many coastal dishes incorporate seafood and spices.

    For medical emergencies, dial 999 or 911. For security issues, contact the local police.

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Kenya?

    A week allows for a more in-depth experience. A possible itinerary could include a safari in the Maasai Mara, followed by a few days exploring the coast in Mombasa or Diani Beach, incorporating a cultural visit to a local village.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Kenya?

    For a weekend, focus on one area. Nairobi offers city exploration, museums, and nearby national parks like Nairobi National Park. Alternatively, a weekend getaway to the coast offers relaxation and beach time.

    The Maasai Market (various locations) offers handicrafts and souvenirs. In Nairobi, you'll find modern malls and boutiques. Mombasa's Old Town has unique shops selling traditional goods.
  • What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Kenya?

    Consider visiting Lake Bogoria, known for its hot springs and flamingos, or explore the less-visited national parks like Buffalo Springs National Reserve or Meru National Park. The Arabuko Sokoke Forest offers unique biodiversity.
