See Natural Wonders From Hotels In Kenya

East Africa has a magic about it that draws tourists to hotels in Kenya from around the world, many of them on repeat visits.

Natural beauty and abundant wildlife are the biggest attractions – and where some places might turn that into something of a cliché, in the country of Kenya it's the real thing. You'll get a feel for it on celluloid if you watch movies like Out of Africa, which tells the story of author Karen Blixen's life as a Danish baroness/plantation owner in 20th century colonial Kenya.

Hotels in Kenya like the Southern Sun Mayfair Nairobi enable visitors to explore the country on safari and in some areas of the main cities it's possible to see the sights like monuments, museums, botanical gardens and architectural works on foot.

Nairobi hotels in Kenya lead visitors to the Giraffe Centre that gives sanctuary to the Rothschild Giraffe, which became endangered after losing their natural habitat to agriculture in western Kenya. When Betty and Jock Leslie-Melville founded the Centre in 1979, there were 130 of this species left in the wild. Their captive breeding programme has raised the total to about 300.

The Centre has preserved 100 acres of original forest for the giraffe, as well as other animals that live there. If you go on the 1,5 metre nature trail in the sanctuary, you could encounter giraffe, warthog, hyena and a variety of birds.

Meanwhile, Rothschild Giraffe can be seen in four Kenyan game parks: Lake Nakuru National Park, Mwea Game Reserve, Ruma National Park and Nasalot Game Reserve.

Lake Nakuru has a stunning flamingo population, attracted by the algae in the water body. The lake itself is in the Rift Valley of Kenya and is protected by the park. You'll see other birdlife there too, as well as warthogs and baboons. Black and white rhino have also been introduced.

If you like watersport, enquire at hotels in Kenya about game, deep sea and light tackle fishing.

Cheap, delicious local cuisine can be sampled Kenyan-style if you leave your hotels in Kenya in search of Ranalo Foods on Kimathi Street in Nairobi. You can get beef, fish, chicken or vegetable dishes simply presented, sans menu or napkins. The dishes will appear as stacks of cards. If there's no card, it means that it's not available.
