Frequently asked questions about resorts in Kenya
What are the top attractions in Kenya?
Kenya boasts incredible diversity. For wildlife, the Masai Mara National Reserve is iconic, famous for the Great Migration. Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks offer different landscapes and wildlife viewing opportunities, including elephants. Amboseli National Park provides stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro with its elephant herds. For something different, explore the stunning beaches of Diani or Lamu Island, offering a blend of relaxation and cultural experiences. The Great Rift Valley is a geological wonder, and Lamu offers a unique Swahili coastal experience.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star resorts in Kenya?
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi is the largest and busiest airport, serving as the main gateway. Moi International Airport (MBA) in Mombasa is the second largest, serving the coastal region.
While card payments are increasingly accepted in larger establishments and tourist areas, cash (Kenyan Shilling) remains king, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. It's advisable to carry sufficient cash, particularly for smaller transactions and in less developed regions.
What are the best resorts with a swimming pool in Kenya?
Is the driving culture in Kenya considered safe for tourists?
Driving in Kenya can be challenging for tourists. The roads can be in poor condition, and traffic rules aren't always strictly adhered to. Consider hiring a reputable driver or using organised transport for longer journeys. Matatus (minibuses) are a common and affordable form of public transport, but can be crowded and fast-paced.
Are there any important traditions to honour while travelling in Kenya?
Respecting local customs is crucial. Dress modestly when visiting villages or religious sites. Ask permission before taking photographs of people. Bargaining is common in markets, but do so politely. Learn a few basic Swahili phrases – it's greatly appreciated.
What are the best family friendly resorts in Kenya?
What areas offer the best experiences for a full week in Kenya?
A week allows for a good balance. You could combine a safari in the Masai Mara with a beach holiday in Diani or Mombasa. Alternatively, explore the cultural richness of Lamu Island and combine it with a visit to Tsavo East National Park. This allows for wildlife viewing and cultural immersion.
For a weekend getaway, Nairobi offers diverse options, from exploring the Karen Blixen Museum to enjoying the nightlife. Alternatively, a quick trip to the coast, perhaps Diani Beach, offers relaxation and water sports. If you prefer nature, a visit to a national park closer to Nairobi, like Nairobi National Park, is feasible.
Are there parts of Kenya with consistently good weather throughout the year?
Coastal areas like Mombasa and Diani generally enjoy warm weather year-round, though the rainy season can affect some months. However, no part of Kenya has truly perfect weather all year. The highlands experience cooler temperatures.
