Tickets to Kenya

Mesmeric and enchanting, Kenya is perhaps the wildest face of the African continent! Most visitors to the nation describe it as a quintessential African destination that lends new meaning to words like 'sublimity' and 'comeliness'! Take one turn and you will find yourself fenced by mist-covered mountains, deciduous plains and massive jungles; on the very next turn, you will be astonished to find yourself surrounded by the jungle of concrete created by glittering high-rises! Those booking tickets on flights bound for Kenya are sure to be surprised to find how such small country can pack in so many attractions and activities in its cusp!

Every year, millions spend on air tickets to Kenya from the UK and the rest of the world to treat their eyes to a fascinating line-up of Portuguese-built colonial edifices in the cultural city - Mombasa; explore colourful mix of tribal cultures at attractive mountain town - Maralal; play a green thumb at the naturally stimulating city -Kiambu; get high on the shopping frenzy of the capital city - Nairobi; or embark on a heart-thudding safari at Masai Mara! But that's not all! There is a huge range of breathtaking sights, modern cities and historical and interesting towns worth visiting in Kenya.

Kenya is fairly well connected to most parts of the globe via hosts of global airlines that operate several scheduled direct/indirect flights to different destinations within the country. Particularly from the key airports in the UK, global airlines such British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch top the popularity charts when it comes to grabbing tickets on scheduled direct/indirect flights to Kenya and different airports in Kenya. Country's flag carrier, Kenya Airways is one of the most preferred picks for netting relatively cheap air tickets to Kenya from the UK.

The best time to visit Kenya remains the months of January to March. During this time of the year, the weather remains hot, dry and comfortable for bird watching on the Rift Valley lakes and game viewing at popular wildlife reserves. But it makes sense to make flights and accommodation bookings in advance as the country sees a huge tourist rush during the peak travel months. Though the rainy months of April to June and October to December are not the best time to visit the country, one may easily find cheap air tickets and accommodation deals during this time.
