Having visited Kenya twice and counting, we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing some truly remarkable stays. In this post, I’ll share some of my favorite places to stay in Kenya, two places I’m eager to return to, and one place that, while it didn’t quite capture my heart, I believe could still be a great fit for certain travelers.
Kenya Travel Guide: What to Know Before Your First Visit
Kenya is one of our favorite countries to visit (we visited twice last year!), and we try to go there at least once a year. If you’re planning a trip to Kenya and have questions about safety, moving around, budget, or anything else, I’ve got you covered. This post will answer the most commonly asked questions about visiting Kenya, so if you have any additional questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.
A Foodie’s Guide to Nairobi: My Favorite Places to Eat in the City!
We spent a little over two weeks in Nairobi and ate at over 20 restaurants (some multiple times, too!). I’ll share my favorites, those I liked (but could be better), a few “just fine” places, and several I would have loved to try but didn’t get a chance to visit.
Our Visit to Lamu: Lamu Travel Guide
Even before I actively wanted to visit Kenya, I’d heard so much about beautiful Lamu. Several social media connections had posted pictures on a sunset dhow—and honestly, I wasn’t sure Lamu would be my kind of island. It seemed so remote, so far away, so still, so old. But one weekend on this slow-paced island changed my view. If you’re contemplating a visit to the Kenyan coast, put Lamu on your radar. This Lamu travel guide will provide all the information you need to make your trip a success.
Diani Beach: The Best Coastline on the African Continent?
Diani was not on my list of places to visit in Kenya. For our first trip there in July 2023, we planned to do a 4-day safari and then spend a few days in Nairobi afterward. But when I asked a friend who lives in Kenya for one must-see spot, her answer was Diani!
Our African Safari Adventure in Kenya
Going on an African safari is high on many travel bucket lists–and for good reason! If you love animals and the great, big, wild outdoors, you will LOVE being on a safari. I’ve always dreamed of spending time in the wild with animals, so when we had the opportunity to visit Kenya, it was my first itinerary item! Here’s everything you need to know about going on safari.
