    Kenya has all the climatic conditions. From the beaches on the African eastern coast of diani, the hot desert climate in chalbi, the cold desert climate on the snow of mt Kenya, Savannah, tropical forests, moorland, bamboo zones and all. Where else in the world complete with the line of equator cutting through the middle of the country ?

    Nice and chilled out spot. Accommodation was definitely overpriced for the amenities. Yes, there are parts of Kenya that are negative 0 temps, especially in the night. These are mainly the parts of Kenya that were classified as the "White Highlands" during the colonial/settler times and they tend to have cold temperatures.

    Hi Guys! Love watching your videos ❤ I honestly have been very confused about entry to Kenya when it comes to the COVID 19 vaccines. I have heard different things and was just wondering if you all know if one needs to be vaccinated to travel to Kenya? The last I heard was that all you need is a negative PCR test before traveling there, but the proof of vaccination is no longer needed. Do you know if this is true? I was in Kenya in 2017 and want to go back, but need to know this information before planning my trip.
