Kenya

Kenya - what a truly amazing part of the world! Its without a doubt the most beautiful place i have ever seen and am ever likely to see. My trip to Kenya was my honeymoon - 2 weeks in October 2008, the greatest 2 weeks of my life - both because of my wife, and the location. People The Kenyan people were just fantastic wherever we went - and we certainly went to a few! Everybody seemed happy and relaxed and always keen to share their local and wildlife knowledge with you. Also despite the level of poverty there, it never felt as though people were hassling you for money - you met sellers of products on many roads for example, but it rarley ...  Read the complete review

Kenya is supposed to be one of the best countries in the world to go. Kenya is located in Africa and has got hot temperature all over.There are many things you can see in Kenya like wild animals and go on cool safari trips! When I went to Kenya last year there was hardly any thing to do here. It was too hot and you would need a drink all the time here. I was shivering to be honest when walking on the streets here. I was scared of the people here as the capital of Nairobi was just too dangerous to walk on! Some people would just look at what you wear and look like they will rob it of you!The police here were not really doing their job well as there ...  Read the complete review

I was just looking back at my photos from my holiday in Kenya last year and felt compelled to write about the wonderful places we stayed and attractions we visited. It feels like being back at school having to write about holidays we went on!! I went to Kenya last June with my Mum, her fiancee and my little sister (well not so little at 23!). Mum and my now step dad were getting married out there are took me and my sister out to celebrate with them. Having seen Africa on TV I wasn't really too keen on going, especially having to leave my husband behind for 2 weeks, however, I really wanted the chance to celebrate my Mum's wedding and who can turn down a ...  Read the complete review

Tsavo East (joined with West) is the largest safari park in Kenya. It is where they film big cat diaries for the BBC and unlike the more famous Masai Mara is easily accessible by road - it is 2 hours drive from Mombasa. If you are staying in Mombasa the Masai Mara is easiest to get to by flying (in a rickety looking old plane!) The safari experience: If you book through a travel agent or rep it is likely your party will be organised through Sonak Safari (a Nairobi based company.) You will be picked up from the hotel, very early in the morning and driven to the Tsavo east gates. The vehicle is like a campervan with 6 passenger seats and a detachable roof ...  Read the complete review

I’ve told you a lot about the interesting and nice touristy things to do – Nairobi and Mombassa are both equally interesting and beautiful places to visit and the Maasai Mara National Park is an experience you have to take – but I want to tell you something now of the experiences outside of these areas. Of the real Kenya without the gloss – warts and all – and maybe I’ll write some other time of the games drives in the Mara, but we’ll see… **A BUSMAN’S HOLIDAY** The whole purpose of my visit to Kenya was work related – my antics on holiday only came about because if I’m owed holiday I may as ...  Read the complete review
