Planning a trip to Kenya is a little more difficult than planning your average overseas vacation because it's not easy to pre-book things, prices often change without notice, and train and bus schedules can be unreliable. To minimize confusion, consider going through a reputable tour operator who can pre-arrange all your activities while in Kenya and tailor a trip that suits what you want to do and see. There are countless operators and a good place to start is to visit www.katokenya.org, the website for the Kenya Association of Tour Operators. For information about game parks including accommodation and tariffs, visit the website for Kenya Wildlife Services at www.kws.org.
