Kenya Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Kenya... Yes, the land that promises you all those lovely golden sandy beaches, loadsa sunshine and plenty of fun at the seaside, everything they say about the place in the brochures is true - or so we thought! We had a great flight there and arrived early morning, after having a shower and a change (you need one after an 8 hour ...  Read the complete review

It was summer 1999 when we set off for the experience of a lifetime which turned out to be above and beyond our expectations! Destination 1: Nairobi We stayed in the holiday Inn for our first night in Kenya. The hotel was lovely - clean, friendly, comfortable, good facilities, excellent food and most important of all, drinking ...  Read the complete review

We were undecided as to where to go for our honeymoon but we finally decided upon was Kenya. After browsing various brochures we finally decided upon one particular package deal. It involved one night in Nairobi, six nights on safari, then seven nights on the Kenya coast. The flight was just over 8 hours and was fine and we arrived in ...  Read the complete review

Around 5 years ago now I accompanied a school trip to Kenya on a mission to find out about the country and it's people. We avoided the usual tourist areas of the coastal resorts and journeyed North of Nairobi to do a tour of the lakes ending with few days stay at the Marich pass field centre. The 10 day tour gave me many wonderful ...  Read the complete review

I visited Kenya about three years ago, staying in a typical 4 star hotel on the beach near Mombassa. It is a fabulous holiday resort for sun and warm sea (even though the locals have killed off all the coral). But be prepared for some unusual experiences.... For example, every evening our Hotel dining room served a three course buffet ...  Read the complete review

Geographic contrast, from the smooth hills covered with rich green pastures to the infinite dominions of acacia and the impenetrable thornbush in the dusty savannah, from the shattered ground of Amboseli Lake and the deserts of the north to the paradise coastal line shaded by coconut palms and rocked by the waves of the Indian Ocean, almost ...  Read the complete review

I went to mombasa, Kenya in November 1998 and stayed at one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in 'Southern palms'. My first impressions of Kenya were not very good. When we got into the taxi that was to take us to our hotel we were told to keep the (barred) windows closed and remove any jewelery. This was quite scary but when we ...  Read the complete review

This remote field centre is not only excellent for academic groups wishing to study both social and environmental/ ecological aspects of northern Kenya, it is also available to independent travellers. I visited it in 1997 with my university, and UEA and many other institutions continue to run field trips there. Situated in virgin forest ...  Read the complete review

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the African continent and provides a fantastic opportunity for the trekking traveller. Many tour companies in the UK will pre-book guides for you and this is preferable to finding one when you get there. They will also arrange transfers, which makes life significantly easier. The trip up the mountain ...  Read the complete review
