According to The Telegraph Travel Awards, Kenya has reclaimed its place among British citizens’ top vacation spots. Kenya was ranked seventh in the yearly study among other countries with beautiful landscapes and top national parks.

Kenya’s standing, however, has changed drastically during the last ten years. Kenya plummeted from ninth place in 2014 to a weak 22 in 2019. Terror attacks in Nairobi between 2013 and 2019 had a significant impact on this deranking process since they caused tourists to stop flying in for vacations.

Kenya returned to its renowned position in 2023, surpassing nations like South Africa and Botswana. The poll results may enhance Kenya’s reputation as a travel destination.

The Maasai Mara came in first place as one of the most popular places according to a number of criteria considered by The Telegraph to determine the ranking. Maasai Mara has earned a reputation as one of the best travel destinations in the world thanks to its profusion of wildlife and welcoming locals. 

British citizens expressed a strong interest in vacations centered on wildlife, which resulted in many votes for the location. Large quantities of wildebeest were migrating from the southern Serengeti to the Maasai Mara.

Kenya’s ranking was also improved by its coastline along the Indian Ocean. Sandy beaches and first-rate beach resorts served as a powerful draw for tourists from the UK.

The British have also been forced to travel to Kenya for the holidays due to the direct flights from London to Nairobi. The book Revealed: The World’s Most Beloved Country from the Telegraph Travel Awards offers insightful information about UK travelers’ choices. 

British citizens have the opportunity to vote for their top vacation spots in any region of the world as part of an annual survey. The categories used to determine the findings are diverse and include anything from airlines and cruise lines to hotel chains and ski resorts.
