Good news for travelers looking to land a cheap airplane ticket to Kenya in the future. Virgin Atlantic announced today that it will start offering daily service between London Heathrow and Nairobi on June 1, 2007. Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Atlantic, commented, “Around 500,000 people fly to Nairobi each year to enjoy the beautiful Kenyan scenery and wildlife it has to offer at its outstanding game reserves with large numbers of passengers also flying to and from America, via London. It is also the leading hub for east Africa providing a gateway for the whole of East Africa and the India Ocean and Nairobi is an important city in its own right with many international institutions based there.”

Checking out the wildlife is the obvious choice and the Kenya Under Canvas tour is a splendid way to do it.
