Watching water flow up a hill is a wonder to behold. All you need to do is ask Come Travel Kenya Limited for a Road Trip, from Nairobi City to Machakos County. Machakos County is amongst the counties that are close to Nairobi.

This implies that you can tour both Nairobi and Machakos County, with a good travel itinerary. You know the perfect travel company for perfect itineraries already, right? Let us delve right into Machakos County:

Kyamwilu Magical Corner

You read that right, Kyamwilu is a magical place. It is hilly, scenic and filled with mystery. Here, nature defies gravity. It is like a slice of the Bermuda Triangle, only this one is the opposite.

Things do not get sucked into a dark hole, they go up a hill. Try pouring water and you will see it flow upwards. Nothing seems to hit the ground here. The hill has been here for ages and it stands defying gravity.

Come camping with loved ones on the hill and marvel at the wonder of Kyamwilu. If a hill is too small a wonder for you, Machakos County offers…

Mount Kilimambogo

You are also known as the Ol Donyo Sabuk – the mountain of Buffalos. This is the home of all buffalos in Kenya. Do you love the majesty of this wild cow? You will have to take a hike on Mt. Kilimambogo, go through the thick montane forest and spot the buffalos, bushbucks, baboons, porcupines and several exotic species of birds.

At the summit, you will enjoy a scenic view of Machakos County. Ol Donyo is 3 Kilometers away from the famous 14 falls. You will enjoy listening to the lull of the falling water, camping at Turacco, Rock Hyrax or Summit Campsite.

Lukenya Hills and Caves:

One of the earliest human fossils was found in the Lukenya Caves, by renowned archaeologists, Mary and Louis Leaky. Historians will enjoy this tour. The caves are laced with mystery and history.

The Mau Mau used the caves as hideouts during the colonial period. Bring hiking boots and comfortable clothing.  When it gets too hot, you can cool off in a pool, at Lukenya Motocross, 45 minutes away from Nairobi when the weather gets too hot.

Maanzoni Sanctuary

This sits on a 10,000-acre piece of land, vast, full of animals and astonishing flora. Maanzoni Lodge is an amazing place to unwind.

We are talking Zebras, giraffes, elands, gazelles, wildebeests, and ostriches. The Lodge organizes trails for visitors to take in the stunning landscape and fresh air of the sanctuary.

Lord Macmillan’s Castle

September 1904 marked the arrival of the famous explorer, Lord Macmillan in Kenya. He fell in love with Nairobi and its environs, abandoning his hunting spree where he constructed a magnificent 32-room single-story castle with underground bunkers.

In this castle, former US president Theodore Roosevelt, and former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill have stayed here. The Castel is a magnificent work of architecture.

However, the bird lovers can start at

Iveti Forest.

Iveti is the most scenic place in Machakos County. The Cedar Trees, look like they were pulled out of an epic movie.

The birdlife here is beyond what you have ever seen. People come here to hike, take nature walks, find inspiration, or spend time alone immersed in nature.

You must go to Machakos County for three main reasons:

1. It is a few minutes drive from Nairobi
2. The dominant tribe- the Akamba people are full of life and fun
3. You will be to places that will leave you awed.
4. As a bonus, you can go golfing, go-karting and enjoy relaxing in a beautiful people’s park.

The cultural camp offers a variety of experiences including organised traditional dances, storytelling sessions, beadwork, and arrow throwing amongst other fun activities.

The camp is on top of a hill and going up the hill is equivalent to going on a quest. You will get true inspiration here. This cultural safari is worth it.

The Mara Savannah Maasai Market

Here, you will have an explosion of cultural exchange as well. You get to buy artistic souvenirs to take back home. The money you spend here supports families and goes back to the conservancy.  you will have fun learning and you will get a chance to give back to society – quite a win.

As a bonus, I will suggest that you camp at

The Mara Triangle.

In a nutshell, Narok County is the place to come and unwind. It is a breath of fresh air. It offers rest from the town chaos and gives you serenity and wild adventures that you will never forget. And I did not mention, the Mau Forest – this is the height of mystery and jungle experience in Narok County. So, what do say? Should arrange a trip to Narok County or you will wait for the Lush Kericho County Coming up?

The Maasai Mara – The Three in One Choice

1. 7 Days Ride

It is hard to sum up the magic of a horse safari in the Masai Mara or to capture its energy and wonder –but we can say that this ride will leave you addicted! I am talking about exhilarating riding, professional guides, wildlife encounters that will take your breath away and an authentic bush experience, with the backdrop of one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes – the endless and beautiful savannah.

You will encounter elephants, buffalos, giraffes and often big cats like lions and cheetahs on horseback. And when the migration arrives, it gives you the once-in-a-lifetime experience of cantering alongside herds of wildebeest and zebra, as you navigate the Mara with a mobile tented camp in convoy.

Led by a private and expert guide you will spend 8 days exploring this beautiful part of the world, moving camp four times, with the help of a team who will set out ahead of you and have the next camp set up and a cold beverage waiting on arrival.

The evening campfires are epic. This ride covers over 250km of the Masai Mara spending up to 7 hours in the saddle each day. Remember to come riding fit as this incredible landscape offers long exhilarating canters. I call it the road to the bliss of freedom in the wilderness

1. 2 bush days at Lerai Safari Camp

This is more like the 7-day one, only shorter. You will have two-night camps of your lifetime after riding a better part of the day. You will also enjoy bush walks and game drives at some point. This is usually the best couple’s getaway.

1. Horseback and Drives Combo on Oloololo Escarpment for hours

The Landscapes at Oloololo Escarpment are the kind that you only read about in books. This is the best for those who are trying out a Horseback Safari for the first time. Families can also take up this one because you stop after a while and go on game drives to rest from the saddle.

4. Ol Pejeta Safari Cottages

The Ol Pejeta Stables has two English-trained horses. The conservancy sits on over 600 acres of land and it is bubbling with fauna and flora. Horse riding at Ol Pejeta is the safest in Kenya since they only recommend Novice Riders. They also have put in place safety measures for both the Horse and Rider.

If you are looking for an intimate horseback safari, Ol Pejeta is the place to be.

5. Beach on a Horseback Experience

Kinondo Kwetu is a place like no other. I once heard a rider confess that he had ridden in all kinds of places: in the Savanah, in Maasai Maria, in Laikipia and on the Mountains, but riding on the beach is the best experience. He said it is better than flying especially when you swim with the horse.

Horses are natural swimmers and the ones of Kinondo Kwetu are exceptional. They are three horses, two boar-pends from South Africa and one Pure Bred. The Horses are English trained, Bomb proof and gentle even to non-novice riders.

The Kindondo Kwetu Hotel is owned by a Swedish Couple and is the epitome of hospitality and luxury on Diani Beach. The area is undeveloped, therefore quite serene and virgin for exploration. You can go for rides in the sacred kaya forest, along the white sandy beach or on the lash paddocks of the hotel. Rides are best in the morning or late evenings when it is not so hot, and you can catch the sunset dipping in the ocean.

Besides horse riding, you can enjoy kite surfing, boat rides, and a game drive to Shimba Hills Game Reserve. Later in the evening, you can join other guests for a tennis game.

6. Sosian Horseback Safari – Laikipia

Laikipia is the most scenic County, if you should ask me. The scenery is extremely calming and captivating. The countryside effect, the green and the hills that roll endlessly will leave you riding into eternity.

The Sosian adds total privacy, traversing through Rivers Ewaso Nyiro and Ewaso Narok, chasing after Hippos, elephants, buffalos, giraffes and Zebras.

Later, you can set up camp and enjoy dinner under a starry sky.

7, 8, 9 and 10 – Nairobi Horseback Havens

1. Hardy Stud

The serenity and the vastness of Paddocks at Hardy is the best thing about this place. It is located in Karen and sits on a 10-acre piece of Land. There is a qualified trainer for first-timers and both adults and children get to go on a horseback excursion. This is a slice of cowboy haven in the city.

1. New Muthaiga Horse Riding Stables

Define class and luxury on a horse – the answer is the New Mutahiga Horse Riding Stables. This is a perfect place for both adults and children. You will enjoy rides in the Sigiria Forest, and your children will be kept busy with lovely pets including chicken and rabbits. Muthaiga Stables are located at Manga Gardens, Off Kiwera Road in kitusuru.

1. Xina Horse Riding School and Stables

The Highlight after a ride is usually the cuisine at The Xina Restaurant. Xina Horse Riding School and Stables is a haven for children. If you are on vacation with your children and they are lovers of horses and riding, you must bring them here.

They will be:

• Trained to ride
• Taught saddling and horse care
• They will be accompanied by a certified rider as you enjoy your riding
• They will enjoy a nice chef-ordered meal afterwards.

Xina is away from the City thus, the serenity and peace while riding.

1. Achi’s Ranch and Horse-Riding Club

Achi’s is only 1.5 km from Bomas of Kenya, which means after a cultural experience at Bomas, you can drive in and enjoy a serene horseback ride. This includes an excursion to Achi’s ranch and a ride through the Ngong Forest. A total break from the chaos of the City.

Horseback Safaris are the latest thrills in Kenya. You don’t want to miss chasing the Wildebeests and Zebras during the Migration on horseback. It is not only for the amazing pictures you will carry home but also for the experience that you will never forget. Talk to Come Travel Kenya Limited for a travel Horseback Itinerary that will suit you perfectly.

You can not Tour Tsavo in one day. You will need at least 3 days to cover the vastness of Tsavo East and West. You have probably heard about the historic man-eating Lions of Tsavo. They still exist- just the other day, a driver of a bus was eaten.  Adrenaline Junkies want to come to Tsavo.

The thrill of Tsavo lies in the extreme difference between Tsavo East, which is a huge green Eden and the West which is nearly a desert. You will not believe that you are in the same county. The best Safari Drives should be undertaken very early in the morning or late in the evening for you to spot many animals that come out to enjoy the morning sun or chill in the evening breeze. You will fall in love with the hugging Zebras.

What do you say? Should Come Travel Kenya Limited plan a Tsavo experience for you? If you happen to be an adrenaline junkie, attracted to the paranormal…

4. You must see the Shetani Lava Flow

The lava flow, which is the largest in Kenya is nothing compared to the mysterious Shetani Caves. Shetani is Devil in Swahili. Don’t go in the caves until you have heard the Taita tales of the caves. The knowledge adds to the mystery of the dark hollowness inside the forever-flowing dry magma that spreads to Chyulu Hills.

5. And Add on the Yatta Plateau

The Scenery when on the Yatta Plateau is the epitome of Taita Taveta County’s Beauty. It is breathtakingly expansive. The hills beyond the plateau are like green gods watching over the county.

And if she or he is not into the black, stony vastness of flowing dry lava,

6. The crystal Chala Lake

It will melt their eyes and hearts. The first time I saw Lake Chala, I wanted to write a romantic story set around it. it is an intoxicating sight, especially for nature enthusiasts. It is a gorgeous crater lake, serene and quiet. Surprisingly, very few people visit Lake Chala. You can enjoy a getaway for days, without being bothered by anyone. Set a lone camp on the shores of Lake Chala and write a book.

7. The Magical Lake Jipe

Lake Jipe connects Kenya to Tanzania. It is a small lake, approximately 32 kilometres Square, feeding on the Lumi River and the overflow from the Usambara Block Mountains of Tanzania. This is a perfect spot for bird-watching. You will see unique bird species and carry home epic photographs. You can enjoy camping and fishing the endemic fish, for sport. What do you say, are we camping on the shores of the magical turquoise Lake Jipe with other campers or you will isolate and have some solitude on Lake Chala? Come Travel Kenya Limited is you to go to Travel Partner.

8. Envy the Crocodiles swim in Mzima Spring

You have heard of whispering waters? The waters of Mzima Springs not only whisper but beckons for a swim. You cannot dare get it in even if the whispers are alluring unless you want to dinner for the crocodiles.

The best adventure would be a guided trek to the springs. The springs are eruptions of four forming one. This is like an Oasis in the dry Tsavo West. All the Animals of Tsavo West drink here. The hippos are my favourite. Mzima Springs is also home to many unique bird species. Come enjoy this paradise after a long trek through the dry Tsavo West and thereafter…

9. Watch the Elephants drink at Aruba Dam

You can never forget this scene for the rest of your life. Imagine an entire herd of elephants bathing in the dam, blowing water from their trumpets and just having a good time. There is always something special about seeing nature unfold before you. The Aruba dam is a beautiful sight when elephants come to drink.

10. Take a Hike on the Hills and Mountains: Shomoto, Kasigau

It’s time to boot up and go up the hills. Find your sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and a torch just in case you come back after sunset. Taita Taveta is usually sunny and dry. This is a perfect weather for outdoor activities, game drives, nature walks and hikes. Join a group on a hike and you will have a time of your life.

Taita Taveta is a slice of serenity. It is sandwiched between Mombasa and Nairobi, with its major towns being quiet.  the major towns are Mwatate, Wundanyi and Voi.

Kajiado County is less than an hour’s drive from Nairobi city on a day when traffic is flowing fluidly.  The mention of Kajiado instantly brings three things to mind: rich indigenous Maasai Culture, barbecue and Ngong Hills.  Kajiado is the home of elephants of Amboseli where you get to see Kilimanjaro from Kenya.

Originally known as Olpurapurana, a place on raised ground, was named Kajiado, O’keju-ado, meaning the long river. The seasonal river runs from the East of Kajiado to the West.

Kajiado is the embodiment of scenic beauty, with a mixture of lush green and dessert aura. The Ma people add to the beauty of Kajiado with their originality and richness in culture. Below are the nine most amazing places and things to do when you go on a Kajiado Safari.

The Karen Blixen Museum

Karen is the leafy getaway, an escape from the Buzz of the City. The Blixen Museum is a haven of coffee and serenity. It is home to rich Maasai artefacts and curio items. Generally, the Blixen Museum is not all historic but more artistic and beautiful.

People bring their family and loved ones here to relax and find inspiration. When you need to sneak away from the chaos of Nairobi city then the Karen Blixen Museum is your place to be. But this will not be great until you first visit….

The Amboseli National Park.

Imagine viewing The Kilimanjaro from Kenya. It is a Mysterious sight. Many artists have confessed that the scenery has spoken to the depths of their souls. Art inspired by these scenic views is usually profound – photography, written and drawn.

Amboseli is the home of large herds of elephants. It is expansive, a whole 392 Square Kilometres.  At the mouth of the Amboseli, you will be welcomed by a dry lake, which normally gives the most beautiful mirages. Have you chased a mirage in your life before? Here is a chance for you to try so.

The Amboseli is endowed with a plethora of fauna and flora. Over 200 bird species for bird watchers and the most luxurious camping sites. You will not only enjoy the game drives to sight the big five and the endangered species like the duiker, the rare antelopes, Black rhinos, hippos, wildebeests, and water buffalos.

The luxury lodges will give you world-class accommodation and cuisines, especially the barbecues and game meat.

Not mentioning the Rothschild giraffe of Amboseli is an injustice.  Come feed a giraffe, share a cup of coffee with one and kiss one if you don’t mind. You can send a poster home doing so.

Talking of cuisines, you have not visited Maasai Land, until you taste the traditionally roasted meat at …

Ole Polos Country Lounge

This is a place like no other. If you are looking for a ranch experience, then Ole Polos is your place to be. The barbecues here are my favourite. You will get to roast a goat and enjoy the juicy mutton, dripping from the grills, and soaked in local herbs.

The luxury mixed with culture in Ole Polos will blow your mind. You cannot be described in writing when you contact Come Travel Kenya Limited to plan your Kajiado Safari Itinerary, ask them to add Ole Polos to the plan.

Take a Hike of The Ngong Hills

Do you want a quiet spot where you can sit and get a beautiful view of Nairobi City? Ngong Hills beckons. It is time to boot up and take a hike up the Ngong hill. A family picnic up the hill is usually the best.

You can go for paragliding, ziplining, take a cultural tour meet the people and go on a nature trail. The Ngong is the best place to visit with kids. Carry sandwiches and let them run around in the grass.

Would love to see the extreme opposite of Ngong? Drive to Nyiri Dessert

Is space and vastness that goes into nothingness your kind of drug? Let us plan a trip to the Nyiri Dessert.

You have not been on a Safari yet, if you have not been to Kenya. Kenya gives the best Safaris in the whole of Africa. South Africa could be better but still, Kenyan Safaris are the most epic, classy and safest.

Kenyan Safaris are also futuristic and give room for enjoying the moment, with tomorrow in mind. Most travel researchers recommend that if you are planning a Safari or Tour in Africa, Kenya should be your number one choice.

Kenya as a Safari Destination has undergone a lot of transformation. There were years in Kenyan History when royalties travelled for months, covering miles on the sea to experience Kenya.

Those who know about the coastal traders will tell you that Kenya was the hub of early trade, between Arabs and Swahili. Have you read about the Man Eating Lions of Tsavo? Have you witnessed the Wildebeest Migration – a documented world wonder? Then there is the less popular Horse riding yet so profound…

Kenya’s horseback riding experiences have been acknowledged as a premier travel encounter by National Geographic, reaffirming the country’s reputation as a pioneer in the realm of eco-tourism.

The timeless allure of horseback safaris remains unparalleled, offering a weighty and immersive connection with the African wilderness. Riding on horseback is the ultimate experience that pulls apart the barriers between humans and the natural world, providing a transformative journey where every sense is engaged.

The symbiotic relationship between rider and horse unlocks a profound understanding of the environment, from decoding the signals of wildlife to embracing the essence of conservation.

Come Travel Kenya Limited is committed to giving you a fulfilling tourism experience. Fun is important, but purpose supersedes it all. Travelling to Kenya for the purpose of going on a Horse Riding Safari, in Nairobi City or in the suburbs of Kenya like Nakuru and Nanyuki, should be coupled with a goal. Self-searching and a desire for raw inspiration are such reasons.

The synergy between safari tourism and conservation efforts is exemplified in the picturesque landscape of Lolldaiga Hills, where a harmonious interplay between a cattle ranch and a research center exists. This land, initially grazed by elephants, now serves as a gateway to the majestic Mount Kenya.

As the highest peak in the country, Mount Kenya stands as a testament to resilience in the face of environmental changes. The dwindling glaciers on its summit symbolize the urgent need for sustainable practices to preserve our planet’s natural wonders. This is where responsible tourism plays a key role. At Come Travel Kenya Limited, you get a chance to travel with a greater purpose, which goes beyond the fun and could just last for several generations. Isn’t this the kind of legacy we all want to leave behind?

Borana Conservancy is another transformative entity that has evolved from a cattle ranch, and now spearheads conservation initiatives that foster a holistic approach to environmental stewardship.

Through innovative programs like Mazingira Yetu, Borana engages local communities to instill a sense of responsibility towards the land. The dividends of these initiatives are evident in the tangible outcomes, with profits channeled back into safeguarding endangered species, empowering rangers, and supporting educational endeavors.

The encounter with a mother rhinoceros and her calf encapsulates the essence of coexistence in the African wilderness. Observing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, the interconnectedness of all living beings becomes palpable.

As the sun sets on another day in Borana, the shared lineage between humanity and wildlife resonates, emphasizing the imperative of collaborative conservation efforts.

Kenya is moving from the usual tourism norms of sightseeing and basking in the sun and engaging more in the rich cultures of indigenous Kenyan tribes, conservation of the rare and endangered species, research on the evolving species, preservation of the current fauna and flora for futuristic purposes and most importantly, giving purpose to Safaris. Come Travel Kenya Limited gives you all these wrapped in a beautiful travel pack. Did I mention the evolving culinary experiences as well? In a nutshell…

The future of safari tourism in Africa hinges on a collective commitment to safeguarding our natural heritage. The intricate tapestry of ecosystems, wildlife, and local communities underscores the interdependence that defines sustainable conservation practices. Embracing this ethos ensures a harmonious coexistence between humans and the untamed beauty of the African landscape.

Come Travel Kenya has lined up activities for you to do at Karura Forest. Karura Forest serves you extreme adventure and fun, at pocket-friendly rates.

Here are some things that you should know as you plan your Karura Hike:

Karura Forest is Home to Over 200 Bird Species

If Bird watching is your favorite activity, then Karura Forest is the place to be. Do you have your list of various hawks and eagles that you have yet to see? Then come cross them off the list at Karura Forest. Here, there is ample space and bird-watching spots.

You will get to watch birds, marvel at the majesty of eagles, and listen to the sweet toots of owls and soothing tweets of weaverbirds.

You Will Get to See many Bush Animals

Monkeys, Bush babies, Suni, Harvey’s Bushbucks, Duikers, and Bush pigs among others. The biodiversity of Karura Forest is beyond this world.

The small animals are in plenty and you could bump into the big ones as well. Enjoy a trek with a mission to spot as many animals as possible.

Come Travel Kenya Will Give You a Local Guide During The Hike

At the gates of Karura Forest, you can buy maps and trek guides. However, having a local guide to take you on the hike is a plus. They will give you the history of the forest. They will direct you to the most scenic places for a maximum experience.

The Charges at the Gates are very affordable

There are three entry points at Karura Forest. One is on Kiambu Road, another on Limuru Road, and one opposite Sharks Palace. At the gate, you will be required to pay some amount before you are allowed in the forest.

Come Travel Kenya has devised a method that gives you a full package where you pay once for the entry fees, packed lunch, water, the hiking map, and the guide’s services.

Come Travel Kenya also gives your local transport to help you maneuver in the forest, to and from the forest. This makes your trip easy and trek more organized.

The Best Time to Visit Karura Forest is on the Week Days

On weekends, Karura Forest is usually packed because all city dwellers run there to restore their serenity after a week of urban jungle mania. The weekends and holidays draw people to the forest. You will have to line up at the waterfall to take a picture. The birds disappear when there are too many people in the forest.

Try to take your hike during weekdays and you will reap the maximum serenity there is in the forest. The birds will be there and some animals will come out of the holes for you to see them. You will not scramble for picnicking places as well. Come Travel Kenya will ensure your hike is fun and full of unique experiences, should you consider having a weekday hike.

The Waterfall in Karura Forest is the Most Scenic Spot

Karura Waterfall has always been the ultimate place in the forest. The orange-gushing waters when it rains and the clear whispering falls when it is dry are both remarkable sights. It is the best spot for photography in the forest. You can have your picnic in a place that overlooks the waterfall.

Karura Forest is a Vast Forest

The forest sits on approximately 1,800 acres of land on one side and another over 1000 acres on the other side. Thirty-six percent of the entire forest is made up of indigenous trees. Some are as old as over 100 years. The geographical location of Karura, just outside Nairobi City is quite remarkable. The hiking treks go from stretches of 5 km to around 50 km to allow cycling and horse riding. Those who walk can walk for a maximum of 10 km.

You can be involved in planting trees in Karura Forest

When was the last time you interacted with nature and even touched soil? The Karura Forest Community Association gives you a chance to leave a mark after or before your hike. You can be a friend of the forest by planting a tree. What do you say to this? Should we plan a hiking trip for you to plant a tree in Karura and have your name pegged to it?

Come Travel Kenya is giving you reasons to travel alone in 2024 and more than ten places that you can visit alone in Kenya. Most importantly, you get tips on travelling alone in 2024.

Here are reasons why you should travel alone often:

• For soul searching: You probably just need to find your true self.
• You travel alone to take a break from the rest of the world.
• To heal from a heartbreak or disappointment. Come Travel Kenya has packages for magical places that will heal your wounds.
• To freshen up after extremely hard work. Rest is all you need sometimes.
• To take a break from chaos: City life can be so chaotic. It is packed with people and things. You could be looking for silence and serenity. Kenya is the home of serenity.
• To find epiphany. Not much can be said about this. It is a personal moment.

• To find love. You are tired of being alone? Find love in Mombasa. You better come alone.
• You could travel alone to see the world with a keener eye. The Masai Mara is vast enough for that eye.
• Are you a religious person? There are several pilgrimaging points here in Kenya. a journey of spirituality is a lone one.

Here are some tips on how to travel alone:

1. Pack Properly: What should be in your travel pack when you travel alone:
2. Your up-to-date travel documents: these include your passport, travel visa, COVID-19 certificate, yellow fever certificate, travel insurance details, your travel agent details, your driving license and details of a contact person in case of emergency.
3. All-weather kind of clothing. Kenya can be cold and warm in one day. Though it never gets so frozen, throwing in a few sweaters and having many T-shirts and shorts for the safaris will be awesome. Pack some boots if you are planning a hike. When you travel alone, try as much as possible to travel light.
4. Have some liquid cash and your credit cards: Your travel agent should help you understand the prices of some basic items you may need.
5. A water bottle – if you are planning a trek or safari, you will need to hydrate.
6. Sunscreen – Kenya has the sun.
7. A power bank – you may need to charge your phone while in the wild.
8. A flashlight – just in case you want to check out the caves.
9. Basic drugs – painkillers, stomach relievers, pain gel, etc. Have something like a small first aid kit for yourself, just in case you get hurt and no one is around.

Once you have your bags packed, where do you go? Come Travel Kenya has picked a few places that a solo traveller will enjoy visiting. They are quiet, serene, and off the radar if that is what you are looking for. But if you want to get lost in a crowd then you will start with:

Mombasa –

This is Kenyas best destination. You will drown your woes in the Indian Ocean with a swim. Diani Beach has a healing aura about it. Its pristine beauty is inspiration enough. Besides, you can choose from, taking nature walks in parks, going to marine parks, visiting historical sites, taking your taste buds on a cuisine trip, engaging in aqua-sports like boating, snorkeling, and visiting marine parks among others. If you are looking for extreme fun on the sandy, sunny and picturesque beaches, then Mombasa should be your first stop. Turtle Bay is one of those places.

Malindi and Lamu –

Just like Mombasa, Malindi is endowed with private beaches and exotic hotels. Here, you will be looking for luxury. If you want to spoil yourself with some amazing sceneries, the best Swahili cuisines, and luxurious hotel services – then Malindi is the place to go. Lamu is also beautiful. It is the best choice for history lovers. If you travel for profound solitude and deep soul searching, the quiet Lamu is your place. Come Travel Kenya will always help you pick.

Small Conservancies and Parks –

Besides the Masai Mara, Tsavo and Amboseli, Kenya has other small Parks and Conservancies that will help you unwind. They are tiny slices of paradise. Olpejeta is one of those. Samburu National Park is another. The Reserves on the Hilly Taita Taveta, are epic. Come Travel Kenya is in collaboration with many such small intimate parks where you can share a cup of coffee with the gentle giraffes.

The Kenyan Countryside –

Nanyuki is a countryside gem. The farms, the horses, the endless rolls of acres of land. If you pick on Nanyuki, then go all the way to Nyahururu and get lost in the misty Thompson Falls.

Lone Road Trip Around The Great Rift Valley

Driving from Nairobi, down the Great Rift Valley is quite an experience. Come Travel Kenya has mapped out places and stopovers in the Great Rift Valley that will have you wishing for an endless drive.

The Nairobi City Tour

I know, you could be running from the City Chaos. Nairobi has many hiding spots; you will never know you are in the city. Did you know there is a National Park in the city? Nairobi National Park is one of the most serene places, besides the Nairobi Arboretum Sanctuary. The Best country clubs are in Nairobi and its environs. At Blixen, your thirst for solitude will be quenched, and you can always go up the Ngong Hills to throw your cares to the wind.

Alternatively, you can always hide in a crowd. Nairobi City is home to epic nightlife. Come pick your vice, after all, nobody knows you here… right?

Lake Victoria

How about waking up to a beautiful sunrise with the hippos breathing softly on Kiboko Bay? Or even better, taking a tour around East Africa on Lake Victoria? Imagine a whole island for yourself.

Lake Bogoria Spa Hotel

Come Travel Kenya is promising you a swim in warm spring. The swimming pools in Bogoria Spa are filled with water from the bubbling springs of Lake Bogoria. This is an exotic place to get away to.

Loile Springs in Turkana

Here you can have a whole spring to yourself. The trip to Turkana itself is a wonder. Then there is Loile, a beautiful beach-like oasis. The waters of Loile look like clear crystals flowing. Very few people visit here because of the distance, that’s why I said you can have a whole spring to yourself.

Bird Watching in Kakamega Forest

Kakamega forest is the ultimate destination of solitude. It will be you, with the monkeys, baboons, butterflies, your camera and birds. If you are looking for freshness and a sigh of relief, Kakamega is the place for you. When you have your energy back, you can grab a chance to watch an adrenaline-gushing kind of bullfighting, at Bukhungu Stadium.
