✈️ “Holiday Mode Activated: Where Are You Travelling This November & December?”
Ah, November and December that magical time when Kenyans start asking, “Unaenda wapi holiday?” even before finishing the chapati dough for Christmas! Whether you’re team “coast till I roast” or team “staycation with Netflix and leftovers,” it’s officially vacation plotting season.
Here are some fun, family-friendly (and solo-approved) destinations to get those wanderlust vibes flowing without necessarily breaking your harambee account.
🌊 1. Coast Vibes: Diani, Watamu & Lamu
If paradise had a postal code, it would start with 254. White beaches, turquoise waters, and coconut trees that make you question your life choices (“why do I even live inland?”).
Families: Try all-inclusive resorts in Diani, Nyali, Malindi or Watamu with kids’ clubs you get peace, they get pancakes and friends.
Solo travelers: Lamu’s chill vibe will fix your overthinking. Get lost in the old town, then “find yourself” by the beach.
🕶️ Pro tip: Book early. Prices rise faster than December matatu fares.
🏞️ 2. Safari Magic: Maasai Mara, Samburu & Amboseli
Because no matter how many times you’ve gone on safari, seeing elephants with Kilimanjaro in the background hits different every time.
Families: Look for family tents, nothing bonds a family like hearing lions roar at 2 a.m.
Solo travelers: Perfect for photographers, bird watchers, and anyone pretending to be in a National Geographic documentary.
🏡 3. The Great Kenyan Staycation
If your wallet says “tuko nyumbani this year,” no problem! Turn your home into a mini resort. Pitch a tent in the backyard, light a bonfire, and threaten to roast marshmallows (then eat them before they melt).Or take short day trips — Tigoni tea farms, Naivasha for boat rides, or Nanyuki for that “I’m crossing the equator” selfie.
🌍 4. Beyond Borders: East African Escapes
Uganda: Jinja’s white-water rafting is perfect for adrenaline junkies (and people who want to scream for sport).
Tanzania: Zanzibar’s spice tours, beaches, and sunsets will have you updating your WhatsApp bio to “island life chose me.”
Rwanda: Clean streets, great coffee, and gorilla trekking if you’re feeling fancy.
✈️ 5. Or… Go Global!
If your passport is ready and your Visa card hasn’t melted yet:
Dubai for fireworks and shopping festivals.
Bali for wellness and rice terraces.
Paris for Christmas lights and croissants you’ll never pronounce right.
🎒 Final Thoughts:
Whether you’re escaping the Nairobi traffic or just pretending to, remember — vacations don’t have to be expensive to be memorable. Sometimes the best memories are the ones made with laughter, a little chaos, and a car full of snacks.
So, pack your sunscreen, your sense of humor, and maybe — just maybe — your charger. Because no one wants to argue over who drained the power bank halfway to Nakuru.
