We all know what an amazing and absolutely beautiful country Kenya is.
It’s the leaders that let us down! But…that’s a story for another day!

Kenya shone at the 23rd World Travel Awards held in Zanzibar in April this year in a colorful gala ceremony where the African category winners were crowned.

She (Kenya) managed to bag the best game reserve, best beach as well as airline in the whole of Africa, to mention but a few.

Here are all the categories that Kenya won:

As part of the Expat Insider annual report, a survey was conducted whereby 14,000 people living in 195 different countries were asked about the weather where they live.
Kenya was named as one of the countries in the world with the best weather; she appeared at a strong number 6, just before Uganda.

Surprisingly, only three African countries appeared at the top ten, Uganda, Kenya and South Africa, with Costa Rica topping the list.

The countries with the worst weather saw Ireland and Belgium at the very bottom.

Here’s a map of the survey with the rest of the countries:

the good thing is u earn less revenue despite the fact you won all those categories and KQ is deeply falling in red! How ironic are those awards! Na mbona hamna category ya safe destination? And why having Africa 'Family' Beach Resort is there a kindergarten there or? and Africa Leading Beach Resort 'all inclusive'? what is so special with that inclusive clause? were those category created to make Kenya win more awards? And how can Masai mara win the Serengeti while the Serengeti is a World Heritage Site while Masai mara is not?

Some things can't be faked in life. Like they say" Perception is reality ". If one has a list to rival this one, let them start a thread on it, and let JF vote.
