About Kenya

Kenya is a medium sized country located on the Eastern Part of Africa. For a country of its size, Kenya sure packs a lot in: its diversity ranging from a snow capped mountain, a searing desert in the north, rich agricultural lands in the highlands and sandy beaches on a 200 mile Indian ocean stretch, colorful tribal culture, and some of Africa’s best wildlife attractions. In fact, to say Kenya is Africa in microcosm would not be stretching the point. There are a million different reasons to come here, and picking just one is nigh impossible.
Wildlife safaris have been the mainstay of Kenya’s tourism for decades, and several Kenyan parks, like Tsavo National Park, are among the best places in Africa to see lions, elephants, leopards and the famous wildebeest migration. Kenya rates as one of the top five bird-watching destinations in the world; other activities for outdoor enthusiasts include trekking the glacial ridges of Mt Kenya, ballooning over the Masai Mara, snorkelling at the Marine National Park in Malindi on the Indian Ocean coast, and much more besides.
