Advantages: Lots of people have been, but there is plenty more to see
Disadvantages: the danger aspect- Just be sensible- it minimises the risks!

Having been brought up in Kenya, I'm pretty sure I know it inside out! They say once you have been there is always a place for it in your heart! Kenya does have everything to offer; from gorgeous beaches, to luxiouriously forested mountains, African bush land and desert. When going to the coast, most tourists head off to the simple and deffinate success of Mombasa, all very well; but not the ultimate African beach experiences. Due to being linked ... Read review

Advantages: Truly memorable, lots of animals, friendly people
Disadvantages: A little scary! but it made it an adventure!

I visited Kenya 5 years ago, travelling with Portland Direct (this is a division of Thompson which is a lot cheaper!) I stayed for two weeks at the Sun & Sands Hotels on the coast. The hotel was gorgeous; staff could not do enough for you. It boasts 3 restaurants and 2 bars. Three swimming pools, one with a water slide.

We asked about venturing into town as we had a day to waste before setting off on safari. Our query was ... Read review

Advantages: Great People, Great Nightlife, Great Experience!
Disadvantages: Too many things to see, short time..!!

Kenya has a lot to offer. Nairobi is the Capital city and Mombasa being the second largest town. There are very things one can experience in both cities. In Nairobi, there are a lot of entertainment spots. For example, The Carnivore bar and restaurant, (where you can taste game meat plus nightlife)or the Casablanca.. (Really nice)…or you can head off to Westland’s area where there are many clubs and it’s only five minute drive to the city centre. There ... Read review

Advantages: excellent adventure
Disadvantages: had to come back

Last summer, a couple and friends and I went to Kenya, it was part of some charity organisation. We had to pay our own air costs and keep and the accommodation. The rest was free. I have been to quite a few places but this has to be the best so far.... WHY -The people are so friendly and so welcoming, they make you feel at home and a night time when your all sitting by the fire everything seems so bliss and so peaceful. I mean we live thousands ...
