Rent a holiday apartment in Eastern – landscapes, culture and safari

Renting a holiday apartment in Eastern is above all a decision based on the desired travel focus. Eastern refers to the Eastern Kenya Tourism Circuit, which combines different landscapes, cultural heritage and adventure activities. If you want to experience wildlife areas, highlands and arid landscapes, or are planning cultural discoveries and active days, the accommodation should match this focus – not the assumption that Eastern is a single compact place to stay.

Key facts on the subject

• Tourist framework: Eastern Kenya Tourism Circuit.
• Landscapes: wildlife areas, highlands and arid landscapes.
• Travel forms mentioned: safari, hiking, birdwatching, cultural visits and adventure travel.
• Cultural references: Akamba and Ameru traditions as well as historical sites.

Landscapes and wildlife as a focus

The circuit described for tourism includes wildlife experiences, highlands and arid landscapes. Examples mentioned include Meru National Park, Kora National Park, Mwingi and the Chyulu Hills. For your accommodation search, this leads to a clear order: first determine the park or landscape area that forms the focus of your nature or safari experience, and then search for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Eastern.

Culture and active forms of travel

The Eastern Kenya Tourism Circuit is also associated with Akamba and Ameru traditions, historical sites and cultural experiences. A specific cultural example is located in Kitui County: these include traditional dances, wood carving, basket weaving and the Kitui Museum. If cultural discoveries are the main focus, choose the area in which to stay based on the local traditions or historical sites you wish to visit; for active days in nature, the same applies to the relevant park or landscape focus.

Selecting accommodation based on your travel plan

Safari, hiking, birdwatching, cultural visits and adventure travel have different focuses. If you want to combine several of these forms of travel, you should decide before renting which experience will account for the largest part of your days. This allows you to base the choice between a holiday apartment and a holiday home on the characteristics of the current offers and your planned itinerary, without generally favouring one particular type of accommodation.

Eastern is very broad as a tourist circuit. It is therefore advisable to assign the accommodation to the desired area of experience rather than assuming there is a single central base for all the landscapes and activities mentioned. You can then make specific decisions about locations and accommodation to suit your nature, cultural or active travel focus.
