How To Make The Most Out Of Your Kenyan Safari

In This Article:

Vacations offer the perfect chance for you to relax and explore new places. Kenyan safaris are widely popular, with many visitors traveling yearly for the experience. Kenya varies from one region to the next and is a relatively big country to visit. You might be wondering how to make every minute count during your trip.

It would be best if you did several things to make the best of your time on your vacation. For example, good planning will allow you to visit every place on your list and be able to afford your food and accommodation. Other tips are listed below.

1. Choosing good accommodation

It would be best to start by choosing a great place to stay for your safari. Accommodation dramatically affects a person's experience while they are on holiday. An excellent place to stay allows you to unwind, rest after a day of tours, and get enough sleep for the next day. It also provides you with accessibility, which makes all your trips easier. A great host will also pay attention to all your needs and offer special provisions in case of unexpected events. Poor accommodation conditions tend to dampen the mood during a vacation.

2. Planning in advance

It would be best to plan your entire Kenyan safari. Doing that, you will better understand how much money your vacation costs. It is also an excellent opportunity to reach out to reliable service providers who will help you with various processes during the trip. Sites like Hauzisha contain comprehensive lists of companies that do this work, making your journey smoother.

3. Trying out many activities

Kenya has many attractive places to tour for tourists coming from different countries. Various regions in the countries have other physical features and weather conditions. Add all the different spots to your travel schedule to make the most of your trip. You can start with the coast, visiting the beaches at Diani and the multiple marine parks. Be sure to visit game reserves like the Mara and animal conservancies.

4. Looking for unique adventures

While you will be tempted to focus on Kenya's main attractions, look at some unique activities that offer just as much fun. A good example is whitewater rafting on rivers like the Tana. It is an enjoyable sport you can participate in as a team. It is also unique, unlike other more common activities in the country. Also, consider exploring the social scene by visiting different restaurants, especially in a city like Nairobi. There is a variety of cuisine options and many entertainment spaces.

5. Booking the trip yourself

While touring Kenya, you should also consider looking for affordable booking options for things like accommodation. Many new visitors tend to book their travels via a tour company. The company then chooses the activities on the travel schedule, places to stay, and the trip duration. This choice is quite convenient, but you should also consider trying out other booking options. With platforms like Airbnb, where you can find a place to stay, you can organize the entire trip without help. This way, your schedule is much more flexible and customized to your liking.

6. Having a detailed itinerary

Finally, create a comprehensive itinerary and try to stick to it. An itinerary will outline your trip, including all the places you want to visit and the activities you want to try out. Add everything you deem necessary, including shopping for souvenirs and adequate downtime. Depending on your budget, you can also make the trip longer. A three-week holiday in Kenya will allow you to try out many places and tour the entire country easily.

You can make your Kenyan safari memorable by making a clear plan and booking fun activities. Be sure to explore all your options and try new things.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
