I am going to Kenya in November on a safari to the Masai Mara, then after that going to Mombasa for a few days by the beach to relax. Just wondering, as it's an expensive holiday, how it would compare to going to countries such as Bahama's, Jamacia, Mexico, Maldives, Seychells etc? Or are those countries a higher class of a holiday destination? Should Kenya as a holiday destination be compared with the likes of Italy, Egypt? I hope I enjoy myself as I love nature and wildlife itself.
Answer:we have been to kenya many times, its our favourite holiday destination,you did not state the safari company or the hotel in mombasa, as there are many , also you have two coasts in mombasa to choose from,north or south, we prefer north mombasa coast, as for costings, the safaris average approx £100--£150 per night for the masai mara, a road safari to starve east, west and amberseli are cheaper,when you stay at your hotel go all inclusive, better value

I am planning on travelling to Tanzania and Kenya from May 1 - 10 and wanted to know if it is a good time to visit those countries. I am planning on doing some of these: safari in Serengetti & Masai Mara, hiking in Kilimanjaro and diving in Zanzibar.
Answer:This is the height of rainy season, but as long as you are prepared it should not interfere with your travels. It will range from partly sunny to overcast and expect 2-3 hours of rain daily. You must have a 4x4 in the national parks and more remote areas. Climbing Kilimanjaro will be more tricky as inclement weather should be expected and you should prepare for snow at upper elevations.
