Diversity and magic of Kenya are just waiting to be discovered J

ambo! It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2012 edition of the Kenya Hotel, Restaurant &

Entertainment Guide, which we trust will serve your needs in assessing Kenya’s unique accommodation facilities and diversity of mouth-watering cuisine.

The tourism sector is always responding to market and environmental changes and the Kenya Tourist Board (KTB) would like to appreciate this paradigm shift experienced in the industry to accommodate diversity. With an ever-changing clientele, the need for diversity in product range becomes paramount.

PRODUCTS This guide provides you with a snapshot of Kenya’s best accommodation facilities, finest restaurants and, by extension, the diverse products our country has to offer, from its wellknown traditional beach and bush holidays to new touristic products such as sport and conference tourism.

KTB welcomes you to enjoy the diversity of products that Kenya has to offer, as described in this guide.

MAGIC Furthermore, we encourage you to visit and see the magic of Kenya for an unforgettable and enchanting experience.

Once again, a very warm welcome to the magical world of Kenya. Karibuni!

Sometimes you make your own luck, however, and the Kenyan hospitality industry has resolutely refused to stand still or be downhearted. During 2009-10 it poured money into upgrading and modernising its facilities, working hard to improve staff training and attending to food and beverage issues so that Kenya has become of Africa’s truly great culinary destinations.

Best of Kenya The launch of the Best of Kenya initiative has spearheaded the country’s claim to have not only superb food but also a legion of skilled and knowledgeable chefs who use fresh local ingredients to create mouth-watering dishes that draw upon and fuse the country’s three distinct culinary traditions: African, Indian and European.

In Nairobi, despite a series of comparatively recent hotel openings, rooms can sometimes be in short supply. More capacity is on the way. But if the past is any guide, then the additional beds will not quite match the insatiable demand

Shopping This is a city of pleasant surprises. Great shopping, restaurants, clubs, bars – you name it, they have it here.

It has fancy shopping malls, from the well established Sarit Centre and Yaya Centre to the UN’s own in-house mall, The Village Market, plus newer and more contemporary offerings such as the newly expanded Junction and Westgate, topped off by the recently opened Galleria Mall in Karen.

Nairobi retains some elements of its colonial past: its elite schools and colleges; its sometimes difficult-to-join clubs (throwback to a time when the British wanted to keep themselves to themselves); horse-racing at Ngong; golf at Muthaiga, Royal Nairobi or Karen Country Club. All hark back to an earlier age and have changed little over the decades.

But the city is not just about the past; it is at the very cutting edge of youth and artistic culture with an internationally

memorable Here, too, visitors can find some of Kenya’s best restaurants, offering succulent seafood plucked fresh from the ocean.

Lovers of good food will appreciate the selection of lobster, crab and prawns served in a bewildering selection of cooking styles. Aside from seafood, there is a choice of Italian, Indian and Japanese restaurants plus other types of cuisine. To celebrate that special anniversary, think about taking a dinner cruise by dhow in Tudor Creek or Mtwapa Creek. This is a truly memorable evening and a romantic experience with superb food cooked on board, attentive service and lashings of chilled white wine or thirst-quenching beer with which to wash down the lobster, prawns and other ocean delicacies.

This is what keeps tourists coming back to the Kenya coast.

Getting between Kenya’s parks and reserves has never been easier as the nation undergoes a major road-building and repair programme that has transformed visits from Nairobi to destinations as varied as the Mara, Lake Nakuru and Shaba. In addition, there are more and more operators providing flights from Nairobi (both Jomo Kenyatta and Wilson airports) and Mombasa into more and more parks. But the gap between road and air travel has undoubtedly narrowed in recent times.

Whichever way visitors choose to travel within Kenya, what awaits them on arrival will be truly spectacular.

The entertainment scene in Nairobi offers a wide range of choices depending on the tastes and preferences of the individual. Here, most entertainment spots are located within close proximity of each other while at the same time being
