F9T: How does Kenya compare with other holiday destinations?
I am going to Kenya in November on a safari to the Masai Mara, then after that going to Mombasa for a few days by the beach to relax. Just wondering, as it’s an expensive holiday, how it would compare to going to countries such as Bahama’s, Jamacia, Mexico, Maldives, Seychells etc? Or are those countries a higher class of a holiday destination? Should Kenya as a holiday destination be compared with the likes of Italy, Egypt?
I hope I enjoy myself as I love nature and wildlife itself.

If your primary concern is wildlife you are well served by traveling to Kenya as it is possible the premier wildlife destination on earth and certainly surpasses those countries you mentioned.
Its beaches are comparable but I do think there is something quite idyllic about the Maldives/Syechlles/Caribbean as a beach holiday.
We might all agree that Italy has the best food!
Enjoy your trip.
we have been to kenya many times, its our favourite holiday destination,you did not state the safari company or the hotel in mombasa, as there are many , also you have two coasts in mombasa to choose from,north or south, we prefer north mombasa coast, as for costings, the safaris average approx £100–£150 per night for the masai mara, a road safari to starve east, west and amberseli are cheaper,when you stay at your hotel go all inclusive, better value
