Kenya Accommodation
Editor's Choice: Game lodges/safari tents
The type of accommodation available on a safari depends on the type of safari booked. Upmarket safaris offer overnight stays in luxurious game lodges and luxury tented camps. These are often situated in beautiful or dramatic surroundings, with animals sometimes roaming around the grounds freely. Standard camping safaris are also available and operators provide vehicles, tents, guides and equipment - but only travellers willing to live without luxuries such as running water or flushing toilets should consider these. The Kenya Wildlife Service recently completed the rehabilitation of selected self-catering bandas (cabins) in various national parks. There are many privately owned country bush homes, usually in spectacular locations, major cities or on main tour circuits. Most travel agents in Nairobi can arrange stays. For further information, contact the Kenya National Tourist Office (tel: (020) 271 1262; website: www.magicalkenya.com) the Kenya Wildlife Service (see Contact Addresses) or KATO (see Getting Around).
