Kenya Hotels
& Accommodations

Kenya is a big place and offers all kinds of accommodations. You can go very basic and pitch your own tent or do it in style with a high-end 5 star hotel and spa. Everything else in between is vast and numerous.

SO, I will narrow it down a bit, make some suggestions and give you some ideas.

The listings will be by area and split into three categories; budget, mid-range and high-end accommodations.

The budget category will include campsites, YMCA, backpacker places and cheap, but clean hotels. One thing I want to mention here is CouchSurfing, which is a worldwide network for making connections between travelers and the local communities they visit. People all over the world offer their couches for travelers and there is a fair amount of CS’ers in Kenya, who have opened their houses in this way. Definitely worth checking out, if this would be an option of traveling for you, and to immerse yourself into the Kenyan culture and way of living.

The mid-range is pretty much self-explanatory; some eco-lodge accommodations are getting more affordable and you will find them here. There will also be several stable and reliable Kenya hotels to stay at when you first arrive in Nairobi. And perhaps you would like to spend an extra day after your safari, to rewind before you return home!

The high-end will include some very nice, relaxing Spas, 5-star hotels and some spectacular lodges in even more awe-inspiring surroundings. You will find most of them either along the coast or in the interior of Kenya in conjunction with National Parks and Reserves.

You can expect the prices to be in the range of:

$ ($ 5 - $ 70) for budget
$$ ($ 75 - $ 250) for mid-range
$$$ ($ 255 - $ 620) for high-end

During the time that it will take me to compile and complete this list, and before it is at it’s full capacity, please go ahead and visit TripAdvisor for more ideas, best deal and information on Kenya Hotels & Accommodations.
