Life Ain't a Beach Here
Review of Travellers Beach Hotel, Malindi by
Seagreen
Advantages: If all you want is to lie by a pool and eat stodge, it's fine
Disadvantages: Pretty much anything else
*Overall - a disappointing stay. The grounds, pool etc. are pleasant enough and the rooms are fine. It was unfortunately the people that ruined it. As a young woman alone, I felt very much like an object of curiosity to all and often felt vulnerable.* ...

Worth the hassle
Review of Tsavo East National Park (Kenya) by
pbryer
Advantages: wildlife, scenery, people, game parks, safari
Disadvantages: danger of robbery and violence, beaches, hassle
The sense of menace was clear and tangible. We were in a taxi completing the brief journey from Malindi's tiny airport to our hotel on the east coast of Kenya. As we looked out of the car windows as we passed through a couple of villages we were eyeballed ...

The beauty of the Mara
Review of Masai Mara National Park (Kenya) by
Sophie-Kaia
Advantages: learning about an amazing culture/stunning scenery/up close with the animals
Disadvantages: food and drink where we were staying was not inclusive so rather expensive
I travelled to the Mara as a part of a seven day safari. I stayed at the Serena lodge for one night and spent two fantastic days here.
The beauty of the Maasai Mara is the abundance of wildlife, we went on four game drives and were not disappointed onc ...

Awful
Review of Sun n' Sand Beach, Kikambala by
HARVEYAPOLLO326
Advantages: Hot weather
Disadvantages: Everything else
I stayed here in December 2007 and have to say I had the worst holiday ever! The resort is a secure compound and is very isolated.
This left me feeling as if I was under house arrest and I could have been anywhere - This would have been ok if the sea/b ...

Niarobi - Open your Eyes !
Review of Nairobi (Kenya) by
gt5952
Advantages: Diverse city with many attractions
Disadvantages: Unhealthy for kids who live on the street
Central Nairobi, the Yaya centre, a shopping mall that would be suited to any modern city in the world, but is this really Kenya?
Nairobi is an interesting city, colourful, inviting, busy, relaxing, all at once.
From street traders to guys who wash ...

Nakuru - Behind the Rhino, The real resort!
Review of Nakuru (Kenya) by
gt5952
Advantages: Great Parks
Disadvantages: Niave Tourists
Nakuru, Kenya, a place of magical beauty, where hotel prices range from £2 per night to £2000.
An absolute contrast, but Im not going to talk about the national parks, they are beautiful, and I was fortunate enough to live in one for several weeks on a ...

Now part of a chain but still has character
Review of HolidayInn Nairobi , Nairobi by
tynegal
Advantages: A taste of old colonial
Disadvantages: Can't think of any
Stayed here on two separate nights on the Kuoni Leopard safari this July but it's used as the start point for a lot of Kuoni tours. Hotel used to be the Mayfair Court (stayed here in 94) and retains a lot of local flavour with pretty gardens, water featur ...

Up close and personal at Treetops
Review of Treetops Hotel, Aberdare National Park by
tynegal
Advantages: Eye ball to eye ball with wildlife
Disadvantages: Lots of stairs
Staying at Treetops is a unique experience - and I've now been twice. I'd go every weekend if it wasn't so far away. There is nowhere like it for getting up close and personal - with both wildlife and fellow guests!
The accommodation is literally buil ...

1950s timewarp
Review of Outspan Hotel, Aberdare National Park by
tynegal
The public rooms and immaculate gardens belie the horrors of the accomodation. There were six of us on our tour and we were in three freezing bungalows which hadn't been decorated since the 1950s and had an all pervading smell of damp. Food is standard Ke ...

Lazing at the Leopard
Review of Leopard Beach Hotel, Ukunda by
tynegal
Advantages: Wonderful setting and spa facilities
Disadvantages: Beds very hard
We spent three nights here after a 2-week Kuoni safari through Kenya and were looking for sunshine and indulgence. The sun hardly shone but the indulgence made up for it!
The hotel is situated in well maintained gardens on the beach south of Mombasa a ...

Mount Kenya, The Crazy British way
Review of Mount Kenya National Park (Kenya) by

Advantages: Great views, lifetime experience
Disadvantages: Too high.
Going up the hill...
If you want to get a train to the top, and buy a badge to say you did it at the peak visitor centre, youre in the wrong place.
Up and down in 3 days, as we did it, is a seriously bad idea, with altitude sickness and so on, the o ...
