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 world-renowned for its Great Migration, while Tsavo National Park offers vast landscapes and elephant herds. Amboseli National Park provides stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro with its elephant population. For something different, explore the Diani Beach for its stunning coastline and water sports or visit Lamu Island, a Swahili coastal town with rich history 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 credit cards 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 purchases and tips.
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. Roads can be poorly maintained, and the driving style is often quite different from what many are used to. It's generally recommended to use reputable taxi services, hire a driver, or utilise organised tours to avoid potential risks.
Are there any important traditions to honour while travelling in Kenya?
Respectful behaviour is key. Ask permission before taking photographs of people, dress modestly when visiting local communities, and be mindful of local customs and traditions. Learning a few basic Swahili phrases is also a thoughtful gesture.
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 Maasai Mara with a relaxing beach stay in Diani Beach. Alternatively, explore the cultural richness of Lamu Island and combine it with a wildlife safari in Tsavo East National Park. This allows for diverse experiences.
For a weekend getaway, Nairobi offers various attractions, including the Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen Museum. Alternatively, a short flight to Mombasa or Diani Beach provides a relaxing coastal escape.
Are there parts of Kenya with consistently good weather throughout the year?
Coastal areas like Mombasa and Diani Beach generally enjoy warm weather year-round. However, even these areas experience seasonal variations in rainfall. The highlands, such as around Nairobi, have a more moderate climate but can experience rainfall throughout the year.
What are the emergency contacts for medical or security situations in Kenya?
For medical emergencies, contact local hospitals or clinics directly. For security concerns, contact the local police. It is always advisable to inform your embassy or consulate of your travel plans before arriving and to have their contact information readily available.
