With 19 national parks and game reserves, Kenya has the environment and wildlife for a picture-perfect safari. The country has beaches along the Indian Ocean, coral reefs to snorkel in and everything Swahili. Here’s five reasons to visit Kenya.
Near the Rift Valley lies the Amboseli National Reserve, one of Kenya’s most visited parks. Giraffes, lions, cheetahs and elephants roam free here. Mount Kilimanjaro magnificently dominates the skyline, enhancing the beautiful views of nature and the wildlife.
The capital of Kenya as well as its largest city, Nairobi has a rich colonial history being the former capital of British East Africa. Visit the city’s historic sites, museums and wildlife attractions.
The largest port in Kenya as well as the second-largest city, the island of Mombasa connects to the mainland via bridges and ferries. The coral reef, dolphins and deep-sea fishing attract many marine enthusiasts. Explore the mosques, old town and Fort Jesus to see what life was like here.
The city of Malindi attracts many with its white-sand beaches, sun and coral reefs. Learn about Swahili culture and history by visiting the Malindi Museum, Church of St Francis Xavier and the Jimi Mosque.
The Maasai tribe occupies Southern Kenya and to this day has preserved its customs. The Maasai people welcome tourists to their villages to experience their way of life and cultural traditions. A visit to Kenya would be incomplete without meeting the Maasai and learning about their lifestyle.
