Holidays in Kenya

Kenya is an unforgettable land of contrasts — where savannah meets sea, and wildlife roams free across breathtaking landscapes. Whether you dream of spotting the Big Five on a thrilling safari, relaxing on pristine white-sand beaches, or exploring vibrant local culture, Kenya is the perfect destination for your next adventure.

The Land of Wildlife and Wonder
Kenya is world-famous for its iconic national parks and game reserves, where you can witness elephants, lions, giraffes, and more in their natural habitat. From the vast plains of the Maasai Mara to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, every moment here is a discovery.

Coastline & Culture
Along the Indian Ocean, Kenya’s coastline is dotted with palm-fringed beaches, coral reefs, and Swahili towns rich in history. Destinations like Diani, Watamu, and Malindi offer the perfect mix of relaxation and cultural charm, ideal for beach lovers and explorers alike.

About Kenya

Kenya is located in East Africa, bordering the Indian Ocean to the southeast. The country is known for its diverse geography — from savannah and mountains to deserts and coastline — and for being a leader in wildlife conservation and eco-tourism.

The local culture blends traditions from over 40 ethnic groups, with strong Swahili and Maasai influences in language, food, and customs.

Capital

The capital city is Nairobi, a bustling modern metropolis often referred to as the safari capital of the world.

Language

The official languages are English and Kiswahili, though many local languages are spoken throughout the country.

Local Time

Kenya is in the GMT +3 time zone and does not observe daylight saving time.

Religion

The main religions are Christianity and Islam, with traditional beliefs also practiced in some regions.

The best time to visit Kenya

Kenya enjoys a pleasant tropical climate all year round, but the best time to visit depends on the type of holiday you’re looking for.

The dry seasons, from January to March and July to October, are ideal for safaris and wildlife viewing. This is when animals gather around waterholes, making sightings easier and more frequent.

If you’re heading to the coast, the December to March window is perfect for beach holidays, with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine.

The wet seasons (April–May and November) bring lush green landscapes and fewer crowds — great for photography and birdwatching.

Kenya Holidays: what to do

Kenya offers endless opportunities for adventure, culture, and relaxation.

Go on a safari through world-famous reserves like the Masai Mara, Amboseli, or Tsavo, and witness the Great Migration or the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.

On the coast, enjoy snorkeling in coral reefs, sunset dhow cruises, and exploring Swahili towns full of history. Whether you’re hiking in the highlands, meeting local communities, or simply relaxing on the beach — Kenya offers experiences you’ll never forget.

A yellow fever certificate is required if arriving from an endemic country. Recommended vaccines include hepatitis A, typhoid, and routine vaccinations. Malaria is present in many regions — use mosquito repellent and consult your doctor about prophylaxis.

How to pay

The local currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES). Major credit cards are accepted in hotels and larger establishments, but carry some cash for local shops and markets.

Airports

Kenya has international airports in Nairobi and Mombasa, with domestic flights connecting major safari and beach destinations. Taxis and private transfers are widely available.

Drinking water

Tap water is not safe to drink — always opt for bottled or filtered water. Avoid ice in drinks and raw foods washed in tap water.

How to dress

Light, breathable clothing is recommended for the coast and safari. For early morning game drives, bring a light jacket. In towns and villages, modest attire is appreciated.
