Backpacking Kenya. Our route.
We went to Kenya in May 2015
during a complete trip (8 months) around southern and eastern Africa
We travelled in Kenya, doing couchsurfing and sleeping in small hotels or local lodges, eating in local restaurants, doing no activities and game parks.
It was the last country we visited in Africa. You can see all the useful information at the right sidebar menu.
If you are a real low-cost traveller, Kenya is not the cheapest country to see wild life in Africa.
But Kenya has fortunatly much more to
offer.
A diverse landscape, the country is not too big to travel around. You can even see wild life from the main road, like on the Nakuru-Naivasha road. And also in remote areas (just head to Mararal). And there are still fantastic tribes and traditional villages, in northern Kenya (again Mararal). Villages like on Lake Baringo, easy to reach. Also beaches near Mombasa (we didn´t go, no more time).
Travelling
in Kenya
is easy, public transport goes to all the main towns and it´s cheap.
You will find cheap basic accommodation in towns. Food is cheap.
And then it´s the expensive tourist galaxy!
About safety in Kenya: up and down! Some problems, recently!
So double check about the last news. And before heading to a place, specially
northern remote areas or to the northern coast, ask local people around.
As we
visited Kenya in a complete southern and eastern Africa
trip, we arrived from Uganda
and left Africa from Nairobi´s airport.
We didn´t do any safari in Kenya. After having seen a lot of animals and done amazing self-drive safaries in southern Africa for affordable price, we didn´t want to pay 4 or 5 times the price for a similar experience in Kenya.
