Frequently asked questions about resorts in Kenya
What are the top attractions in Kenya?
Kenya boasts incredible diversity! For wildlife, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is iconic, famed for the Great Migration. Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks offer incredible landscapes and diverse animal sightings, including elephants. Amboseli National Park provides stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro with its elephant herds. Lake Nakuru National Park is a haven for flamingos. Beyond wildlife, the beaches of Diani and Mombasa offer stunning coastlines, while Lamu Island provides a unique Swahili cultural experience with its historic architecture and dhow sailing.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star resorts in Kenya?
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi is the main international airport, handling most international flights. Moi International Airport (MBA) in Mombasa is the second largest, serving as a significant hub for coastal tourism.
While card payments are increasingly accepted in larger establishments, especially in Nairobi and tourist areas, cash remains king. It's advisable to carry Kenyan shillings (KES) for smaller transactions, especially in rural areas and local markets. Many businesses will still prefer cash.
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. Traffic can be unpredictable, road conditions vary significantly, and the driving style is different from many other countries. Using reputable taxi services or hiring a driver is strongly recommended for safety and ease of travel. Driving yourself is generally not advised unless you are very experienced with driving in challenging conditions.
Are there any important traditions to honour while travelling in Kenya?
Respect for local customs is crucial. Dress modestly when visiting villages or religious sites. Ask permission before taking photographs of people. Learn a few basic Swahili phrases – it's greatly appreciated. Bargaining is common in markets, but do so politely. Be mindful of cultural sensitivities and always show respect for the Maasai and other tribal communities.
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. A classic itinerary might combine a safari in the Maasai Mara (3-4 days) with a few days relaxing on the coast in Diani or Mombasa. Alternatively, exploring the Rift Valley's lakes and national parks (Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha) and then heading to the coast also works well.
For a weekend getaway, consider the coastal towns of Mombasa or Diani for beach relaxation. Nairobi offers a blend of city life, museums, and national parks like Nairobi National Park, accessible within the city limits. Lake Naivasha provides a more relaxed escape with opportunities for boat trips and birdwatching.
Are there parts of Kenya with consistently good weather throughout the year?
Coastal areas like Mombasa and Diani generally have warm weather year-round, although there are rainy seasons. The highlands around Nairobi have a more temperate climate, but still experience distinct wet and dry seasons. Truly consistent weather is rare in Kenya; it's best to check specific forecasts for your planned travel dates.
