Kenya is an incredible place too! Work with a knowledgeable local tour operator for the best, up to the minute advice. People read some bad news from one tiny corner of Africa and dismiss the whole continent; it’s a question of educating ourselves.

Kenya is offering tourists some fantastic deals at the moment, e.g. halfprice park entry fees. The national parks are hundreds – thousands – of miles away from the (few) troublespots. The Kenyan economy desperately needs tourist dollars. Don’t stay away from Kenya and Uganda 🙂
