Food in Africa Kenya Vacation Safari

Most travelers are impressed by the quantity and diversity of food offered in Kenya. Even when you are deep in the bush and miles from any agricultural or commercial center, you are almost always assured of finding a buffet groaning with appetizing looking food including many salads. These elaborate “safari buffets” usually looks better than they taste and become repetitive after several times through the line. It is relatively safe to try most of the food offered by hotels and lodges which cater to international tourists.

Rays

Beware of the tropical sun. Wear sun block. Bring a hat, or better, two. You burn faster at high altitudes and near the equator. Many parts of Kenya meet both of these criteria.

Highs and lows

In Kenya, altitude range from sea level to over 5000metres. Be alert to the fact that quick altitude changes can be dangerous to your health. Mountain climbers-beware!
