WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT KENYA inspite of it all - just a thought

Traveling is supposed to be about leaving the frustrations of job and home life behind for a week of relaxation and invigoration. Sure, there are inherent risks whenever you travel to different parts of the world. Travel dangers come in all shapes and sizes. One country may be war-torn and full of desperate marauders. Another may be known for petty theft and street violence. Some dangers are inherent in the land itself, with wildlife, terrain and weather conditions that could prove perilous. Despite these problems , some places are still worth visiting.

It is true there are travel advisories against some Kenya places that have been put in place by some governments and it is important that people understand what the travel advisories are talking about. Taking time to understand will help you see the real picture and show you that these risks are boiled down to specific areas within the country and not the whole country. While searching for your Kenyan destination you should also put in mind that the travel agency that you choose puts all measures in place for your ultimate safety. No one inviting a friend to his place would like to see that friend come to harm as tomorrow you may wish for that friend to come again.

Many countries in the world have problems such as tsunamis, earthquakes, bombings, serial killings, civil unrest and yet you find that people still find the gem in the hidden places as we have seen on popular tourist online sites like trip Advisor.

Inspite of all this Kenya has been Africa's most popular safari destination and it's capital Nairobi is East Africa's economic hub. Kenya has a decent tourist infrastructure and lots of resorts along its coastline. It's a testament to the country's many natural attractions that tourists continue to visit. Kenya is indeed one of the most beautiful countries in the world. If you created an index of "natural beauty per square-kilometer" Kenya would probably come up on top of the list.

Starting from Nairobi, within a few hours of driving, you enjoy the most amazing nature: the Masai Mara, Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya, and Lake Victoria, are all within reach. Nairobi is surprisingly pleasant, with one of the best climates in the world: it is one of the few cities where you neither need air-conditioning nor heating—all year long.

Tourism is critical for Kenya’s economy. When visitors exchange their dollars, yens or euros for shillings, the national currency gets a boost. More importantly, tourism is a labor-intensive activity: think of all the jobs created (about 100,000 by some estimates), for park rangers, to airline crews, and hotel employees, who directly rely on it.

In conclusion of my thought I have lived here for a long time and seen the good the bad and the ugly. One thing is for sure...the moment you decide to travel whether you know it or not all security measures right from home are put in place to ensure you will return home and tell the story of an African Adventure.
