Best Places To Visit In Kenya This Year

The magical Kenya has been making headlines since President Ruto came into power. With the Nairobi riots dominating the news items, it is hard to think there is more going on in Kenya beyond the headlines. But as their tourism tagline states, Kenya is a magical destination something similar to the desert experience is mashed up with the savannah popular for the classic African safari.

Best Places For Game Drives

One of the main reasons people visit Kenya is to encounter the African Big Five. And if you intend to visit for the same reason, these are the most recommended destinations to visit in Kenya this year.

Masai Mara National reserve

Masai mara is the most popular wildlife destination in Kenya. But the biggest challenge of late is the fact that they revised their entrance fees making the park a no-go zone for budget travellers. But besides the high entrance fees, you are guaranteed to see almost all the big five in this park on any given day.

Amboseli National Park

Many people who have traveled to Kenya often rate Amboseli above Masai Mara. Mara is more of a very popular destination whose popularity overshadows almost every other destination but when in an actual sense isn’t the best because it is so much touristic oriented given its name and fame.

But when you visit Amboseli, you will find that the park is not as congested as Mara and you will not have to pay the same amount of money you pay in Masai Mara and the experience is quite exceptional. The park is most known for offering great views of Mountain Kilimanjaro

Best Places For Relaxation

The majority of the people visit Kenya because of its wildlife potential. But beyond the wildlife, some people just wish to be in a place where they can relax without the fear of losing the important things. Here are some of the places to consider in Kenya for such a wonderful experience.

Nairobi Giraffe Manor

This is a one-of-a-kind hang-out place whose main highlight is the boundaryless encounter with the Rothchild giraffes. The castle-like structure dates back to the 1930s making the architecture so unique compared to most of the other places you will likely find in Kenya.

If you are just interested in a place that would give you an experience of mere relaxation without tiring yourself with a lot of activities, then Giraffe Manor is the place to be.

White And Blue Kenya Destinations

Kenya has quite a range of white and blue destinations including but not limited to Mombasa beaches and resorts, Diani Beach, and Lamu Archipelago offering the Kenyan Island life. There are several resorts and beaches that you can consider for your relaxation. However, it is important to note that the temperature is relatively higher in the white and blue destinations when compared to Nairobi.

If you are interested in quite a chilly place that has average temperature, then Nairobi would offer you better relaxation options.

Archaeological Destinations in Kenya

The country has several destinations that offer insight into the history of humankind as well as modern-day civilization. The most important of all these sites is the Turkana site which is believed to be the cradle of humankind. For those interested in the evolution of Africa from mere tribal communities to larger societies, a place like Malindi will give you an insight.

If you are interested in a mountaineering experience in Kenya, then Mount Kenya should be at the top of your list of destinations.
