Cuddling cannot happen unless…

You book a luxurious lodge

Be very careful with where you sleep during the rainy season. Still, an experienced travel agent will advise you here. You need to sleep in a warm and safe place, with great hospitality services.

You will need superb hospitality, awesome cuisines and a fireplace. These can be found in selected hotels and lodges that only your travel agent can advise. Hygiene is also very important at this time of the year.

Always keep an open mind because the weather can change at any time. Be flexible to change schedules and you will enjoy the most.

Have you thought of cultural visits?

These are mostly quiet and indoors in museums. You may miss out on the dancing and song but in Bomas of Kenya, you can have it all. The City Culture is also a welcome idea during this time. You won’t get rained on, while having dinner in a beautiful hotel on Two Rivers Mall, will you?
