Who does not fit Kenya?
Kenya is unlikely to love those who are interested in history and culture In that way, in what we used to see it in Europe - museums, art galleries, ancient buildings and palaces, generation of kings who lived there ... In all this in Kenya. Of course, there are some exhibitions and museums, however, as you understand perfectly, they do not go to any comparison with the culture of Europe.
Moreover, Kenya is unlikely to please the lovers of the economy - No matter how cool, but this country is quite far from Russia, so you can hardly find a plane tickets for a penny. Of course, in Kenya itself, it is not very expensive, but the cost of flight, accommodation and traveling to national parks will fall into a penny.
As already mentioned above, Kenya is far from Russia, so you hardly like it there those who prefer short flights - Three - four hours - and you are at sea. Before Kenya will have to transplants, no direct flights are and speech. However, despite this fly to Kenya, it is possible with relative amenities - including there is a good airline.
It is unlikely that Kenya will have to taste those who prefer the most comfortable and safe rest - Of course, there are luxurious hotels in the country, however, the conditions for Safari are far from super complex, in addition, antimary preparations are required to visit Kenya, because almost the whole country (except, perhaps, only the capital) falls into the risk area.
