There are many hotels in Kenya, with the most famous one being The Norfolk Hotel. These hotels contain all the amenities that one would expect, for example, room service, carnivores, air-conditioned and a few shops. Norfolk has a unique and quiet wonderful style and presence as it was built in the early part of the century.
Another hotel in Kenya is the Hilton Hotel, which is found in down town Nairobi and it provides all the usual services.

The other hotel is the Serena Hotel, which in a few years back, went under renovation and is now attractive and fashionable. Serena has got many goods, nice restaurants and a health club.

Outside Nairobi, there are other two new, good and very big hotels and those are; Safari Park and Windsor Hotels. Safari Park Hotel is larger than Windsor and it has got at least 5 restaurants, a health club, a free form pool, casino and many shops. Windsor Hotel has got a golf course, a swimming pool, lots of land, restaurants and shops.

You will find many tented camps located in National parks and reserves within Kenya’s protected areas. You should note that these establishments are parmanent as opposed to the seasonal camps in other countries like Botswana and Tanzania. The features of these camps include electricity, running water, flushing toilets and so much more… Most of the rooms in these tented camps can accommodate 2 beds, but it should be noted that these rooms are smaller than the other big lodges within Kenya. Needless to say, the price of these establishments is lower that the upmarket lodges in Kenya.

Kenya has also got many lodges, which people use when visiting the game parks, and just like the hotels, lodges too have real rooms, bathrooms ensuite. Some of the examples of these lodges are; Keekorok, Mara Serena, Mara Simba, Shaba, Samburu Intrepids and Outspan Lodge.

With trees growing through the dining room ceiling and thatched roofs, there can be great ambience.

Setting a large compound and having swimming pools around the lodges is suitable because they provide an appropriate environment for the pools. Lodges are much larger than tented camps and are often not as personal, however, accommodations in lodges can vary accordingly. For example, it may b an individual bungalow or even all being within a main building.
