Kenya
offers the traveler a wide range of accommodation options. From youth hostels
to five star luxury suites, from pitching your own tent in the wilderness to
relaxing in a private beach side villa, the possibilities are endless.
Your choice of accommodation for your stay in Kenya should be dictated by your personal travel budget, but also by your own interests. For some people, sleeping under canvas in the Kenyan bush, by an open fire and surrounded by the spectacular night noises of wild animals, is a once in a life time experience that has greater value than the most costly hotel or lodge.
For others, the experience of enjoying unparalleled luxury, fine cuisine and world class service while surrounded by the wonders of the wild makes Kenya the ultimate destination. Whether you're looking to rough it or relax in style, Kenya can cater for every taste, budget and personal interest.
There are travelers who prefer staying at an Eco-friendly accommodation facility. These are unconventional camps and lodges that offer a different safari experience.
This choice of accommodation assures guests that they are leaving a positive footprint on the environment and local people.

Kenya is one of the global leaders
in community-based ecotourism, working with the many local tribes to develop
innovative ways to protect the environment and local culture. Kenya is ahead of
the ecotourism pack in other areas as well, planning to be Africa’s first
country to develop and use international criteria to rate Eco-lodges and tour
operators. A leader in innovative Eco-lodges, Kenya has won many international Eco-lodge awards and promoting ecotourism in Kenya.
Eco-tourism Kenya is a civil society
organization that was founded in 1996 to promote ecotourism and sustainable
tourism practices in Kenya. Founded with enormous industry support, the society
was charged with the responsibility of providing the required support for the
development of ecotourism and sustainable tourism in the country.
Today, the society continues to
pursue the vision of making Kenya’s tourism sustainable, in terms of concern
for the environment and the welfare of local populations. As a membership
organization, Eco-tourism Kenya brings together individuals, community based
organizations (CBOs) and corporate organizations in a forum where they can
discuss the concept of ecotourism and use this knowledge to improve practices
in their respective fields.
Eco-tourism Kenya has completed the 'Eco-ratings' system,
giving Kenya’s tourists an opportunity to choose a 3 star or a 4 star Eco-lodge, based on internationally accepted criteria.
These criteria also provide Kenya’s Eco-lodges, Kenya safaris and
tour operators the tools they need to compete in the global market as one of
the world’s top ecotourism destinations.
