With September is about to be archived that "in-between" season that for tourism in Kenya means mainly safaris and the arrival of African nature lovers and that for its beaches is expressed by the landing of serial vacationers (the so-called "repeaters") and village tourists who do not expect the climax of the sun-sea combination but rather, escaping from the European cape find pleasure in the equatorial spring.

Unless the agency has projected tropical scenarios to them at the highest level or they have not inquired at all on the Internet...
A tourist season that, for those in the industry, can also take solace in the presence of Kenyans who have their August vacations, and families until schools reopen, which is usually in the last week of the month.

From mid-September, then, we are already looking directly at the summer of East Africa and the Swahili coast, or December through March.
Bookings are already flowing in for the most popular beach destinations and the best deals for a dream safari are being closed, while tour operators are looking for deals to grab rooms in facilities that fit their offerings and as always there is a shortage of flights and those that are available often have less and less affordable prices. It's the market, beautiful, some would say.

Certainly Kenya is always more for those who can afford it, and the transformation in the type of tourism makes it clear that once you can afford the cost of airfare, Kenya is to be experienced in all its colorful possibilities and facets. Why spend that money for ten days of beach and sea, then you might as well choose more circumscribed, beach-only destinations.
Vacationing in Kenya is something else, and the currency situation, the shilling, compared to the price of the flight, can allow for much cheaper accommodation and movement solutions than in years past.

So the expectations for the peak season, the Christmas season and the New Year, are not so much about the number of travelers who will arrive, but about the time they will want to spend in Kenya and the things they will do, enlivening not only the earnings of a hotel, but also those of the whole so-called induced industry.
Retirees, lovers and winterers in Malindi already know, in three or more months of wellness the ticket is already well and truly paid off, but also for those coming for the first time or planning the African dream, paraphrasing a very famous advertisement, "du settimans is mej che uno."
To close with what could be the slogan for the season to come: Come in a few to Kenya, but stay longer and above all, experience it in 360 degrees!
