Highlights from the Kenyalogy guide
  Get your safari on track with some tips about where, when and how to go about it. Yes, this is Africa, but beware. Nights and early mornings in Kenya can be really chilly.  
  Feeling a bit lost? Not sure about how to plan your visits to the parks? Check our suggestions. Lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant make up the list of the most wanted.  
  Aberdare National Park is a hidden gem that deserves a visit beyond Treetops and The Ark. Common sense and a little advice will keep you well protected from bugs and tiny critters.

  Tabia Safaris in Fitur 2013. Javier Yanes/Kenyalogy.com The safari operators lack official support from Kenyan tourism bodies
Feb 01, 2013. Kenya is missing once again in the 2013 edition of Fitur, Spain's International Tourism Fair which opened on January 30 in the Ifema venue in Madrid. Although the absence of official representation for the East African country has been recurrent in past editions of Madrid's fair, this lack of interest from Kenya's governing bodies in one of the three most important tourism conventions in the world is specially notorious when compared with the effort made this year by other less developed African destinations, like The Gambia or the Democratic Republic of Congo.

  Construction of Thika superhighway. Stephenwanjau via Wikipedia
Nairobi-Thika superhighway open to traffic
The new road makes the first leg of the future Nairobi bypass
Nov 16, 2012. The upgraded highway linking Thika with Nairobi, which has been now officially opened, is the first 8-lane road in East and Central Africa. Besides facilitating communications between the capital and the town of Thika, 41 km (25.5 miles) away, the A2 road is also the main route for travelling north to Aberdare and Mt. Kenya national parks, and farther to Isiolo and the Samburu area, where a new fast highway was opened last year heading north to Marsabit, Moyale and Ethiopia. A segment of the new Thika road will also serve as part of the future Nairobi bypass, currently under construction.
 
 
  Tana Delta. Ramsar
Tana river delta designated a Ramsar site
It is the 6th Wetland of International Importance in Kenya
Oct 12, 2012. The Tana river delta has been designated as Kenya's 6th listed Wetland of International Importance in the Ramsar Convention. With 163,600 hectares, the Tana river delta is the second most important estuarine and deltaic ecosystem in East Africa, harboring a rich variety of habitats and endangered species like the African elephant, Tana mangabey, Tana river red colobus and white-collared monkey. The new designation should help preserve an area threatened by commercial interests and troubled by a long-running ethnic conflict between the Pokomo and Orma communities.

Bandas closed for renovation
Amboseli and Aberdare are the parks affected
March 15, 2012. Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has closed all self-catering banda-style accommodation facilities in Amboseli National Park for a much-needed renovation. The Fishing Lodge and Tusk Camp at Aberdare National Park have also been closed. KWS has not given an estimate of when these facilities will reopen. During the renovation works there will be no self-catering accommodations in Amboseli, while in Aberdare the small two-bed Sapper Hut will stand as the only option, and also the only accommodation in the park other than the one-night lodges Treetops and The Ark.
