An Introduction

Kenya’s tourism sector goes from strength to strength

Growth

This welcome trend is a dramatic contrast with the dark days It is fair to say that Kenya has also been lucky in 2011 because of 2008-9. The turnround has not been achieved without the it has benefited from problems in other competitor destina- efforts of many. In particular, it says much for the tremendous tions. This is particularly true of the coast, which has gained marketing effort by the Kenya Tourist Board (KTB) to promote from the disruption to tourism in North Africa; but Kenya has also gained from the continued strength of the euro and the corresponding weakness of the Kenya shilling.

Sometimes you make your own luck, however, and the Kenyan hospitality industry has resolutely refused to stand still or be downhearted. During 2009-10 it poured money into upgrading and modernising its facilities, working hard to improve staff training and attending to food and beverage issues so that Kenya has become of Africa’s truly great culinary destinations.

Best of Kenya

The launch of the Best of Kenya initiative has spearheaded the country’s claim to have not only superb food but also a legion of skilled and knowledgeable chefs who use fresh local ingre- dients to create mouth-watering dishes that draw upon and fuse the country’s three distinct culinary traditions: African, Indian and European.

In Nairobi, despite a series of comparatively recent hotel openings, rooms can sometimes be in short supply. More capacity is on the way. But if the past is any guide, then the additional beds will not quite match the insatiable demand 7

Shopping

This is a city of pleasant surprises. Great shopping, restau- rants, clubs, bars – you name it, they have it here.

It has fancy shopping malls, from the well established Sarit Centre and Yaya Centre to the UN’s own in-house mall, The Village Market, plus newer and more contemporary offerings such as the newly expanded Junction and Westgate, topped off by the recently opened Galleria Mall in Karen.

Nairobi retains some elements of its colonial past: its elite schools and colleges; its sometimes difficult-to-join clubs (throwback to a time when the British wanted to keep themselves to themselves); horse-racing at Ngong; golf at Muthaiga, Royal Nairobi or Karen Country Club. All hark back to an earlier age and have changed little over the decades.

But the city is not just about the past; it is at the very cutting edge of youth and artistic culture with an internationally 9

st The Kenyan Coa

Welcome to the coast with the most Kenya’s ocean resorts offer a dazzling range of holiday delights

isitors come to Kenya for a variety of reasons. For Vmany, though, it is the clear blue and irresistibly inviting waters of the Indian Ocean that are the chief attraction.

The Kenyan coast is more or less one long beach – 535 km of soft powdery white sand running at an angle from north to south. Apart from the area around the port city of Mombasa, much of it remains little touched by tourism.

location

This long and mostly unspoilt coastline can be divided roughly into four areas. Starting in the south and moving northwards, these are: quiet Kilifi and the busier Watamu and extends up to the glitzy Malindi. Kalifi, the least developed of the three main • The south coast (which, incidentally and bizarrely, is an resort towns, has a particularly attractive creek. Watamu is east coast) runs southwards from Mombasa to the border a growing resort with some excellent hotels, while Malindi with Tanzania and includes the main resort of Diani plus oozes sophistication with five-star resorts in the jet set lesser-known destinations such as Tiwi, Galu and Msamb- style and some fine restaurants.

Here, too, visitors can find some of Kenya’s best restaurants, offering succulent seafood plucked fresh from the ocean. Lovers of good food will appreciate the selection of lobster, crab and prawns served in a bewildering selection of cooking styles. Aside from seafood, there is a choice of Italian, Indian and Japanese restaurants plus other types of cuisine. To celebrate that special anniversary, think about taking a dinner cruise by dhow in Tudor Creek or Mtwapa Creek. This is a truly memorable evening and a romantic experience with superb food cooked on board, attentive service and lashings of chilled white wine or thirst-quenching beer with which to wash down the lobster, prawns and other ocean delicacies.

This is what keeps tourists coming back to the Kenya coast.

Getting between Kenya’s parks and reserves has never been easier as the nation undergoes a major road-building and repair programme that has transformed visits from Nairobi to destinations as varied as the Mara, Lake Nakuru and Shaba. In addition, there are more and more operators providing flights from Nairobi (both Jomo Kenyatta and Wilson airports) and Mombasa into more and more parks. But the gap between road and air travel has undoubtedly narrowed in recent times.

Whichever way visitors choose to travel within Kenya, what awaits them on arrival will be truly spectacular.
