Kenya makes it into top five
Ever since Acacia Adventure Holidays launched their Crazy About Kenya campaign in June 2008, the destination has been steadily gaining in popularity and shifting back up the rankings to it’s former top three position.
Kate Plummer, Product and Marketing Co-ordinator at Acacia Adventure Holidays, comments: “With Kenya now slashing visa costs by 50% the wildlife capital will continue to climb up the charts, and the news is timely for travellers looking to view the annual migration – the new prices coming into effect from 01 April.”
Interestingly, the tour operator also believes that the credit crunch has played a major part in the renewed interest in Kenya.
Kate Plummer, comments: “Kenya is traditional storybook Africa and while people are definitely being more budget focused when it comes to booking holidays in the recession, they’re also not willing to take chances, and are opting for the more well-known parks and reserves.”
“There’s no guarantee of wildlife action on any safari – but predators are abundant in the Maasai Mara, as indeed are lions and all of the Big Five. The game reserve is also a permanent source of water, so adventurers can be assured of an exceptional safari year round.”
Kenya has moved from the top ten to the top five since Acacia Adventure Holidays joint promotion with the Kenya Tourist Board was initiated in September 2008.
Overland tours including Kenya start from £495pp + local payment from £67pp.
