Kenya is one of those destinations that instantly brings to mind the classic Africa landscapes: beady eyes, and shaggy manes, padding across the khaki desert in search of the latest Canon zoom lens.
We’ve been satisfying travellers’ curiosity for travelling in Kenya for over 30 years, so when I put the call out for expert travel tips for travelling to East Africa’s I was swarmed with great ideas.
Coming up, are twenty two of the very best, from Victoria Two (STA Travel Reading), Daniel Woodward (STA Travel Leicester), Mark Reynolds (STA Travel Belfast) and Daniel Painter (STA Travel Portsmouth).
If you’re interested in wildlife, then Kenya is the ideal place to visit. On paper, the National Parks are quite close together, but don’t be fooled — the landscapes are quite different, and as a result, the types of animals and birds that you see in each of them varies tremendously.
If you’re a traveller who seeks out amazing experiences, you’ll be right at home in Kenya.
There’s nothing more miserable than winter. Actually, there is. Winter in the UK. When it’s raining and cold and grey and everyone’s grumpy. Bah humbug, indeed.
So what if we told you there was a way to escape the winter months? Not just for a few weeks, oh no. We can get you a round the world ticket that’s valid for 12 months, so you could enjoy a whole year of summery goodness, my friend.
Yep, with a bit of careful planning, and a helping hand from our Travel Experts, eternal sunshine could all be yours.
So pack your sunnies and slap on the sun cream – we’re going to show you just how you can enjoy 12 months of summer lovin’.
A round the world trip should be an adventure. It’s a time to do things you’ve never done before, and see sights you never dreamed of seeing. It’s a time to be daring. To take risks. To be courageous. To go… wild.
Here at STA Travel, we know all this. So we got our thinking caps on. Then we put our travel planning hats on. And finally, we put ourselves in your place. And we came up with our wildest round the world route yet. It’s called (funnily enough) Wild at Heart.
Nairobi. Johannesburg. Bangkok. Hanoi. Hong Kong. Beijing. Amazing destinations in their own right. But they’re also all gateways to some of the world’s most unexplored territories.
Take Wild at Heart on our Tripline below, and see for yourself what an adventure this round the world trip can be.
TFI Friday! Why? Because it’s time for Ask the Experts, of course! Our weekly feature that sees our panel of Travel Experts giving you a few ideas and bit of inspiration as they answer your travel questions.

This week’s questions comes courtesy of Sioned up in Chester. Sioned’s off to Kenya, and she’s after a few ideas…take it away, Sioned:
This summer I’m travelling in Kenya. I have 2 weeks between volunteering in an orphanage in Watamu and flying home from Nairobi where I haven’t got anything planned. I was wondering if you had any suggestions? Thanks! Sioned in Chester.
Quite a specific question, but that’s great – the more detail, the better our Experts can help you plan a perfect trip! So, let’s see what they’ve got up their collective sleeve…
I’m very, very excited about this week’s Ask the Experts. Why? Because we’ve got another new Expert on the panel! And you know what that means: new knowledge, new experiences, and new ideas. Welcome to Claire from STA Travel Brighton, who joins Sarah from our Covent Garden store, and Paul from STA Travel Aberdeen in our all new line up.
We’ve got a great question for Claire’s first week, one that should resonate with all you worker bees out there:
I want to do a round the world trip, but I can only get a month off work. How can I make the most of my time away? I definitely want to go to Australia, but am open to ideas for other destinations. Jennie in London
Ah, I know the feeling, Jennie. Experts, can you give Jen some light at the end of her tunnel? Can she go on a round the world trip AND keep her job? Let’s find out.
