FOREWORD Greetings from the Ministry of Tourism,

It is with great pleasure that I return to the helm of Kenya’s ever-growing tourism sector, as the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism. This is set to be a truly exciting year not only for our tourism industry but the whole country at large.

As Kenya continues to receive positive attention globally, I am hopeful about the future of tourism in Kenya. I am certain that with determination and the right mix of refreshing strategies, along with a keen focus on our different counties, and building upon our existing tourism experiences; we shall no doubt make Kenya Africa’s top most travel destination.

In regard to this, we have set out to increase our efforts and funding into attracting local, regional and international travellers to visit, explore and experience what our magical land Kenya has to offer. We have also put great emphasis on our domestic travel markets, in a bid to see more Kenyans further explore their magnificent country, and truly appreciate why so many international & regional tourists visit Kenya time & time again.

Several major steps and incentives have been rolled out since the year began and are already having positive results on the industry which includes a higher number of tourists travelling into and within Kenya.

The incentives which include; a Kshs.30 million sms campaign has seen domestic travellers win chances to explore their beautiful counties, the government waiver on travel visa fees for young adults below the age of 16 years, and the reduction of game park entry fees from 90 USD to 60 USD are just some of the many strategies we have put in place.

The government has also launched an innovative Kshs 1.2 Billion (2 year) tourist charter flight incentive program – where if 80% of the charter flights passengers disembark at either Moi International Airport or Malindi Airport, they will enjoy free landings and passenger subsidies of up to USD 30 per tourist.

These strategies, with many more developments to come, are all part of our industry recovery efforts to ensure a clear pathway towards the success of Kenya as a leading destination.

With the willingness of tourism establishments to further enhance their products to become more globally competitive, industry players are working together to offer better quality and more holistic experiences to local travellers, and utilizing our previously untapped potential of niche tourism experiences such as; ultra-luxury travel experiences, adventure & sports tourism, and MICE tourism just to name a few – Kenya is well heeled to cater to the demands of today’s worldly traveller.

Finally we acknowledge the constant unwavering support shown by key tourism partners, such as Go Places™, who proudly and passionately via various informative publications and digital marketing platforms, continually shine a bright light on Kenya’s outstanding hospitality & tourism facilities in local, regional & international markets.

I take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2nd edition of the Go Places™ Hotel & Accommodation Guide, a selection of the very best corporate & leisure accommodation facilities within the country.

Hon. Najib Balala, E.G.H CABINET SECRETARY MINISTRY OF TOURISM

Kisumu offers a range of contemporary accommodation options and a variety of deliciouslyinspired cuisine restaurants. Try the newly developed Acacia Premier Kisumu, Imperial Hotel or the VIC Hotel.

NAKURU Nakuru is Kenya’s 4th largest city, only slightly smaller than Kisumu and an important agricultural city, trade center and transportation hub. Visitors to this county can take tours of the Menengai Crater or Lake Nakuru National Park, where your chances of seeing rhinos is greater than in any other park in Kenya. Lake Nakuru National Park is also famous for its pink-rimmed lake with a vast number of flamingos can be seen foraging in the shallow waters.

ELDORET Lying south of the Cherangani Hills, Eldoret is Kenya’s fifth largest town and the name was derived from “eldare”, a Maasai word meaning “stony river”. It is also the bread basket of Kenya - a farming region where maize, wheat farming and ranching take place on a large scale. The town is served by the modern Eldoret International Airport which links the town to other domestic and international regions. The town is also an excellent location for sightseeing with breathtaking landscapes and we recommend Poa Place Resort, Eldoret as your hotel of choice.

NAIVASHA Naivasha located in the Rift Valley is an agricultural hub, specializing in floriculture. Tourist attractions include Hell’s Gate National Park, Longonot National Park, Mount Longonot and of course Lake Naivasha.

NYERI Nyeri County is a main administrative and economic center in the Kenya’s Mt. Kenya region. During the colonial days, Nyeri was a barracks but it later became a trading centre for foreign farmers who produced wheat, coffee and cattle. The town is also the gateway to the Aberdares National Park and the nearby town of Nanyuki, great for hiking and mountain trekking.

The resort has since been transformed into a 55-acre sprawling property, with a variety of luxury accommodation options, large lawns shaded by mature acacias and fever trees, sumptuous wine & dine experiences, and the very best meeting-conference-event venue facilities in Naivasha.

year during the annual Lamu Festival where all are welcome to experience the marvel of this coastal gem.

The entire coastline covers about 536km offering a spectacular array of beach hotels & resorts to choose from. From hotels with state-of-theart luxury and business traveller amenities, to delectable wine & dine experiences, and a host of sporting and leisure activities the choices are literally endless. Globally renowned for its amazing white sandy beaches and alluring warm blue turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Kenya’s coastal region also has its fair share of intriguing wildlife viewing opportunities (including the Shimba Hills National Reserve). From the trendy North Coast to the quieter Watamu and Lamu, to Africa’s Best Beach Destination WTA 2016 - Diani Beach, amazing Kilifi and more… Welcome to the very best beachfronts in Africa! Visit: www.goplacesbooking. com

MALINDI Malindi is a place full of history dating back to the 15th Century when the Portuguese visited our shores, choosing this as a prime trading post.

The small town is at the centre of a strip of idyllic tropical beaches offering visitors a range of world class resorts and quiet relaxing hideaways. The Vasco Da Gama Pillar in Malindi stands just south of the town at the Vasco Da Gama Point. The pillar marks the last stop in Africa before Vasco Da Gama sailed across the Indian Ocean to India in 1498.

MOMBASA Kenya’s principal port and second largest city, Mombasa is a colourful island town with a picturesque blend of ancient Swahili culture and modernity. The island is separated from the mainland by two creeks namely; Tudor Creek & Kilindini Harbour, and connected to the north by the Nyali Bridge, to the south by the Likoni Ferry, and to the west by the Makupa Causeway. On the North Coast are the Nyali, Bamburi, Shanzu & Vipingo beaches, and on the South Coast you will find Shelly, Tiwi and the world-famous Diani beach.

LAMU Going to the remote archipelago of Lamu is like traveling back in time. As Kenya’s oldest town, Lamu has retained its appearance and character over the centuries. The town has narrow streets, no cars and the only means of transport are donkeys, or by sea and motor powered boats. The Lamu area contains some of the world’s most abundant sealife and untouched beachfronts. The beauty of this ancient coastal town is celebrated by the natives but every

WATAMU Set south of Malindi is the quieter village of Watamu fronted by wide white powdered beaches; a tranquil haven and home to several well established resorts, and many private guesthouses scattered through the forest and along the exclusive and more isolated shorelines. Watamu Marine National park is the main highlight of the town, and an ideal spot for divers and snorkelling enthusiasts which boasts over 600+ species of fish in just 10 square kilometres! Watamu is a greatsport fishing destination too – we recommend Turtle Bay Beach Club for a truly immersive experience.

DIANI BEACH Voted Africa’s Best Beach in the World Travel Awards™, expect nothing less than the very best in Diani. From amazing other-worldly beachfronts, to premium 5 star beach resorts & spas, great gourmet & fine dining experiences, a vibrant nightlife, a plethora water sports and much much more. Diani Beach lies 35km south of Mombasa city and covers the shores for about 25km, adjacent to Tiwi Beach, Galu Beach, Chale Island, Funzi Island and Kinondo.

GEOGRAPHY Beach and island topographies are mostly flat.

Zanzibar is separated from the mainland by the Zanzibar Channel stretching for 120km and 30-40km wide and includes the larger islands of Ugunja, Pemba and Mafia islands.

CULINARY HIGHLIGHTS Zanzibari cuisine is influenced by Swahili, Bantu, Arab, Portugese and Indian cultures, and the use of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, are commonly used in dishes. Expect a plethora of local & internationally inspired ‘wine & dine’ experiences (great local street food too..) speckled throughout the islands to form a culinary journey like no other.

Book into this property with the Go Places Travel Desk - T: (+254) 786 974634, 719 764000

PLACES TO VISIT On Zanzibar Island visit Stone Town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and check out: Beit al Ajaib - Zanzibar Museum of History & Culture, the Old Fort, Fordhani Gardens, Hurumzi Neighborhood), as well as, Paje & Nungwi beach. Don’t forget to visit the magical islands of Pemba & Mafia too.

ZANZIBAR ISLAND / UNGUJA ISLAND Well-known for its white sandy beaches, lively coral reef and abundance in marine biodiversity, this glorious Swahili coastal island caters to every whim, be it big game fishing, scuba diving, experiential spice routes, and of course the beguiling Stone Town where travellers can truly experience the art, culture and history of Zanzibar. Some famous island festivals include; Fashion Week Zanzibar, Jahazi Literary & Jazz Festival, Sauti za Busara Festival and the ZIFF Festival of the Dhow Countries.

NUNGWI Located on the most northern tip of Ugunja island is the charming village of Nungwi; traditionally a fishing village and dhow-building center it is now a popular tourist destination on the island, and was recognized in CNN’s list of “100 best beaches of the world”. Nungwi is one of our most highly-recommended parts of Zanzibar Island offering great accommodation options, delectable wine & dine experiences and lots of beach and sea sporting activities.

At sunset about 50 boats with white sails leave Nungwi to go deep sea fishing at night (an amazing sight).

PAJE Located on the eastern coast of Zanzibar Island

(Ungunja) on a beautiful strip of seashore sits the quite town of Paje, well known for its kite surfing, windsurfing, scuba diving and pleasant windy weather; a great option for those searching to get away from it all and enjoy the Zanzibar in ultimate privacy and exclusivity.

PEMBA ISLAND Known as the ‘Green Island’, Pemba is famous for its rich fishing grounds and abundant marine life. Clove trees are found throughout the island, with more adventurous tourists visiting the less crowded and quieter island to dive off its pristine coast. The island largely remains ‘undiscovered’ and much of the coast is lined with mangroves and lagoons. The healthy coral reefs of the Pemba Channel offer spectacular views when scuba diving or snorkeling.

MAFIA ISLAND Mafia Island and its reefs are world-renowned as an excellent diving destination, where scientists have confirmed that Mafia has some of the richest reefs on the globe, with an unparalleled variety of hard and soft corals and a huge diversity of tropical fish. Steeped in history dating back to the 11th century, fascinating on-land and in-water ecosystems and friendly people makes this a traveller favorite.

DAR ES SALAAM The most popular beachfronts include Oyster Bay, Msasani Peninsula, Kunduchi, Bahari, Mjimwema and Ras Kutani. Ideal for snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing, and dotted with small fishing villages, Dar es Salaam offers a relaxing, yet vibrant ambience with fresh tropical island breezes.
