You have asked us to provide you with a list of budget-to-mid-range properties that do not break the bank, and in this issue, we finally oblige. All under Ksh 15,000, these properties are either affordable throughout the year or currently have low rates to match the present tourism season. If you're keen on a budget trip to the Mara, we also have you covered. Your favourite columns also return, with a Kenyan couple on a motorbike trip around the world in our Globetrotters section, and a swim with African penguins in South Africa for our Kenyan traveler column. Enjoy!
