And, in comparison to driving around Ethiopia, other East Africa, or certainly West African driving...
Kenya was the easiest and best. The infrastructure was just better enough to make it much less stressful.
(no checkpoints every 10km for brides/fees, etc).

So, I've traveled by many methods around Africa.
And, the #1 thing that seems to stop others from going? Education and lack of comfort with infrastructure.
Glamping is cool. Exotic safaris are fine.
But, generating additional tourism from wealthy countries - it's about making it actually seem 'no-stress' and 'comfortable' compared to (sadly) what most people think of when they think of traveling in Africa.
Education first. Get people to understand (especially Kenyans) are AWESOME.
It's an adventure in a beautiful country.

On the basic side of things that add stress and travelers hate:
- Airport transfers
- Finding hotels
- Stopping for bribes/hassles at airport/bus/cities
- Have hot water in every single place.
- Aircon (sorry, but most people want it)
Travel doesn't need to be completely pampered, but, most people aren't into sitting in a hut after 4 hours on a bumpy road chasing animals.
Africa has SOOOO much to offer, so I wish you good luck in getting more people comfortable with making the trip.
I had the same question at the end of reading @MurimiWaNjogu 's post. What's making your services exceptional from the so many other safari companies.There are a lot of tour operators in Kenya. Why you?
