The global tourism has been negatively affected while it is the local tourism that it is already showing very positive signs of getting back on its feet sooner with the easing of the Country’s lock down measures that were earlier set by the National government.

While we are very keen to follow up all the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Tourism and wildlife set safety guidelines, we also encourage all who will be travelling with us soon to observe the above-mentioned measures to keep all of us safe. Kenya is the Country to travel to and the time to travel is NOW!
