Revered by many anthropologists as the ‘cradle of humanity’, Kenya is wild...

If you're adventurous, it promises the globe’s most magnificent wildlife parks, unsullied beaches, thriving coral reefs, memorable mountains and ancient Swahili cities.

Built on the tradition of safari legends such as Hemmingway, Bjorn and Karen Blixen and Denis Finch-Hatton, the sophisticated tourism infrastructure found here makes travelling a joy. Regarded by many as the ‘jewel of East Africa', Kenya has some of the continent’s finest beaches and most magnificent wildlife and scenery. It’s a startlingly beautiful land, from the coral reefs and white sand beaches of the coast to the summit of Mount Kenya, crowned with clouds and bejewelled by strange giant alpine plants.

Between these two extremes is the acacia-studded rolling savannah, home to wildlife parks and reserves such as Amboseli, the Masai Mara, Samburu and Tsavo as well as lush agricultural highlands with sleek green coats of coffee and tea plantations and the most spectacular stretch of the Great Rift Valley, the giant scar across the face of Africa. The great migration can usually be found in the Masai Mara during the months of July and August and there are unique species found only in areas north of the equator such as reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich and beisa oryx. Without a doubt, Kenya is a fine place to begin exploration of the continent and is easily combined with safaris in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda as well.
