First among the things to do in Kenya that come to mind is the Maasai Mara National Reserve, which hosts the migration of nearly 1.5 million wild animals every year from July to October. In Nairobi National Park, just 7 kilometers south of the capital, you see lions in the same frame as the city skyline. Diani Beach on the Indian Ocean coast, with its white sand and coral reefs, is ideal for swimming and diving.

Tradisjonelle søte retter

Mandazi

Mandazi are fluffy, lightly sweetened fried dough pieces, often cut into triangles or rounds, and they are a breakfast and snack favorite across East Africa. They puff up beautifully when fried and are perfect for dipping into tea or coconut chutney.

Mahamri

Mahamri are golden, airy Swahili doughnuts made with coconut milk and cardamom, giving them a rich, fragrant sweetness. Along the Kenyan coast they are traditionally eaten at breakfast with mbaazi, a savory pigeon pea stew, for a sweet and savory pairing.

Kaimati

Kaimati are small, crisp fried dough balls that are soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup, making them delightfully sticky and sweet. These little treats are a specialty of the Swahili coast and are especially popular during Ramadhan to break the fast.

Tradisjonelle salte retter

Ugali

Ugali is a dense, starchy dough made from maize flour and water, and it is the national staple eaten at nearly every Kenyan meal. It is traditionally rolled into a ball with the right hand and used to scoop up stews and vegetables.

Nyama Choma

Nyama choma means "roasted meat" in Swahili, and it is Kenya's beloved social barbecue, usually goat or beef grilled over open flames. It is less about the quick meal and more about the long, communal gathering shared with friends over cold drinks.

Sukuma Wiki

Sukuma wiki is a simple, lightly seasoned dish of collard greens sautéed with onions and tomatoes, often served alongside ugali. Its Swahili name translates to "push the week," reflecting how this affordable dish helps stretch a family's food budget.

Tradisjonelle drikker

Chai (Spiced Milk Tea)

Kenyan chai is brewed with strong black tea, milk, and a mix of spices like ginger and cardamom, and it is at the heart of daily hospitality. Guests are almost always offered chai, and refusing it can be seen as impolite.

Uji

Uji is a smooth fermented porridge made from millet, sorghum, or maize flour, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast. In some regions it is left to ferment naturally, which gives it a pleasantly tangy flavor and makes it packed with probiotics.

Mursik

Mursik is a traditional fermented milk drink of the Kalenjin community, stored in a special gourd that is cleaned and smoked over burning branches. The smoking gives the milk a distinctive smoky taste and helps preserve it for weeks.

Ofte stilte spørsmål om Kenya

Is Kenya safe to travel to?
Kenya is generally safe, but you should be careful about petty crime in big cities. There is a tourist police unit, and you can call 999 in emergencies. Avoid walking alone at night and keep your valuables in the hotel safe. Travel with professional tour operators.
How many days should I spend in Kenya?
At least 7 days are recommended for Kenya. This period is enough for a safari covering Nairobi, Maasai Mara and Amboseli. For a deeper experience, 10 to 12 days is ideal, and Diani Beach on the coast can also be added to the itinerary. If you are short on time, an intensive 5 day tour is also possible.
What is the best time to visit Kenya?
The best period is between July and October because the great migration is watched in Maasai Mara during these months. December to March is also the dry season and is ideal. Long rains occur between March and May, and short rains between October and December. It is suitable year-round for a beach holiday.
Is Kenya an expensive country?
Travel prices in Kenya vary according to your preferences. The daily safari cost can range from 100 to 500 dollars. Local food and buses are quite affordable. Accommodation offers a wide range from hostels to luxury lodges. The currency is the Kenyan Shilling, and cards are widely accepted in big cities.
How does transportation work in Kenya?
In Kenya, intercity transportation is provided by bus and plane. Domestic flights are quite popular, and it takes about one hour between Nairobi and Maasai Mara. Matatu minibuses are used for local transportation. If you want to go with your own vehicle, renting a 4x4 is the safest option.
