Dining
OutAll
over Kenya, the climate is ideal for alfresco
dining. In many camps, lodges and restaurants,
meals are served outside, letting you
enjoy a feast with a view. You can start
the day with a bush breakfast after an
early morning game drive, and finish it
with sundowners and snacks whilst taking
in the view of one of Kenya's spectacular
sunsets.
There is an incredible
range of restaurants in Nairobi covering
a world of cuisines. From Korean BBQ to
French nouvelle cuisine, Ethiopian Injera
to a traditional roast Sunday lunch, hamburgers
to tandoori specialities, you'll find
exactly what you're looking for, or a
new and unexpected treat.
ShoppingKenyan
products are as diverse and unique as
the country itself. There are traditional
artefacts, fantastic jewellery, beautiful
carvings, the world's best coffee, precious
stones, furniture, beautiful cloth and
textiles, excellent local music, wonderful
modern art and so much more to be found.
Excellent, well-stocked
gift shops can be found in many hotels,
lodges and camps throughout the country.
But often, real finds can be found a little
further off the beaten track.
For the dedicated bargain
hunter, Kenya's markets are the place
to be. Markets selling all kinds of local
arts and crafts can be found all over
the country. In Nairobi, there are large
open-air markets held each week.
Some of the most popular items for the
avid shopper include basketwork, carvings
(the most popular item with visitors to
Kenya), ethnic artefacts, clothing and
textiles, beaded jewellery, decorative
items, and traditional musical instruments.
Getting
AroundVisitors
to Kenya can drive using an international
drivers license. Driving is on the left
hand side and drivers should give way
to traffic on their right. Distances are
measured and signposted in kilometres
and petrol / diesel sold by the litre.
Road conditions are variable and can be
very poor in remote areas.
