Kenya Accommodation

View all accommodation in Kenya

Kenya accommodation choices range from large-scale hotels to some of the finest safari lodges on the African continent - have a look at our Kenya Villas and Best Kenya Luxury Lodges for our favourite indulgences - and our top recommendations below for a good spread of safari and beach lodges.

We recommend:

Mara Explorer - Situated on the banks of the Talek River, this is an exclusive 5-star camp with superb game viewing opportunities. Explore the legendary Masai Mara by 4X4, hot air balloon or even on foot. The wildebeest migration passes through between June and September - don't miss it!

Porini Lion Camp - Aiming to be as eco-friendly as possible, this very exclusive camp is located in a private concession bordering the Masai Mara. You'll be looked after in considerable style as well as having the opportunity to do some amazing game viewing.

Kipungani Explorer - The decor at this luxuriously appointed lodge leaves you in no doubt that you are on a magical tropical island. Your chalet opens out onto a deserted beach and the long list of water activities, including excellent diving - means you'll never be stuck for something to do.

Shompole - Perched on the edge of an escarpment with eye-popping views over the Rift Valley, Shompole is well situated for game viewing in a private reserve or bird watching at the nearby flamingo-carpeted Lake Natron.

It is strongly recommended that you reserve all your Kenya accommodation as far in advance as possible as availability is often at a premium, especially in peak season - and it wouldn't hurt to have a quick look at our When to Go to Kenya to get your timing right, especially if you are planning to view the famous Wildebeest Migration.

Remember as well not to be misled however by the term "tented accommodation" - this tends to be luxuriously appointed insect-proof tents which are usually permanently pitched on stone bases or raised platforms, and include en suite bathrooms with flush toilets and plenty of hot water.

These are very popular accommodation types in Kenya and give the visitor the true experience of being close to nature without the inconvenience and discomfort that can be associated with camping in the open.
