What types of accommodation can you find in Kenya?
In Kenya, you'll find campsites and bungalows in national parks, guest houses and lodges for more comfort, hotels of various ranges in towns, and luxury establishments with pools and beachfront access on the coast.
Accommodation in national parks
The parks offer camping sites and sometimes basic bungalows. Comfort is rudimentary but the experience allows you to be as close as possible to wildlife. Rangers ensure the safety of campers during the night.
Lodges and guest houses
- Guest houses: simple and economical accommodation, often run by local families
- Lodges: more comfortable structures with services, ideal for safaris
Hotels in cities and on the coast
In cities like Nairobi or Mombasa, different ranges of hotels are available to travelers depending on budget and desired comfort level.
On the Kenyan coast, hotels are generally more luxurious with swimming pools, direct beach access and excursion programs to coral reefs or marine parks.
