Safari & Beach Holidays to Kenya - Where, When and who with?

Q: Thinking of visiting Kenya in 2009 combining a Safari and Beach holiday....any suggestions on good agents, accomodation, places to go, types of Safari and when is the best time to go

A: Good choice! Kenya is an amazing country. I stayed at Bamburi Beach Hotel - it's a fantastic place to stay. The staff are so friendly and will do everything to make your stay an enjoyable one. You can book safaris at the hotel - they have Somak reps there every day/2 days . We booked a safari this way. We did 1 night/2 days at Tsavo East (about a 3 hour drive by Somak bus). We stayed in Voi Lodge, another lovely hotel. In terms of weather - avoid April to June (rainy season) and October/November (same reason) I was in Kenya in January/February this year and the temp is hot hot hot! If you prefer a self catering apartment I recommend Indiana Beach Apartment Hotel. This is where we stayed this year (and 4 other times before that) and it gives you the freedom to eat when you want etc. It also has a restaurant/bar where you can order food if you're just too chilled out to cook!
