Kenya has an intriguing and colourful history, breathtaking countryside, spectacular wildlife and rich cultural diversity. Kenya more than any other African country, epitomises the image of Africa. The vast plains that make up the Serengeti (Tanzania) and the Masai Mara are the images that most travellers have of Africa, and is the home of the traditional ‘African Safari’ as immortalised by Hemingway, Roosevelt, Finch-Hatton and others. Kenya, as well as being home to many different ethnic groups, has a wonderful varied landscape that includes a part of Africa’s famous Great Rift Valley as well as its plateaus and high mountains. | | |

| | Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa | | | | Kenya’s tourism industry is one of its major sources of income. The Masai Mara is world-renowned for the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra that takes place during the period of August/September. Although the migration is over a short concentrated period the wildlife is spectacular throughout the year. The savannah regions of east Africa are vast and prolific and provide the ideal destination for an African Safari. The Mara is however not the only reserve, with Meru, Aberdare, Amboseli, Tsavo, Sabuk, Mt. Kenya, the Great Rift Valley, Lake Victoria and Mombasa, offering fantastic experiences of Africa. Wherever you choose to travel in Kenya you will encounter spectacular scenery and wildlife as well as encountering a wonderful vibrant and energetic people. | | |
