Planning a Trip

Most visitors to Kenya combine some downtime on the beach with a safari, and as such there is a fairly good tourism infrastructure. There are hundreds of safari operators to choose from; all the parks and reserves have a good choice of accommodations, some of which are of a world-class standard; and the coast is a veritable playground for people looking for a sun-and-sand vacation.

Of concern to the visitor is getting around Kenya. Aside from the odd pothole, most of the major tar roads between destinations are in reasonable condition, but the roads in the wilderness areas, parks, and reserves are not. While you have a good chance of seeing plenty of animals on safari, you'll also have to endure long dusty, bumpy rides in Land Rovers to do so, which is why many upmarket travelers prefer to fly between destinations. The other major concern for visitors is that they must be fully protected against contracting malaria and precautions should be taken.
