The beaches are gorgeous, the people are fascinating, and the diversity of nature from the hot savannas, over snow-capped mountains, to the colourful corals shows the splendor of nature. It is not the variety in landscape, but the wildlife that attracts the majority of tourists. A great amount of National Parks and Reserves secure the existence of large amounts of wildlife throughout the country.

Amongst the most beautiful once we find the parks of Samburu, Amboseli, Nakuru, Mount Kenya, Meru, Tsavo, Masai Mara. The main objective of any safari would be to see “The Big Five” – the lion, the buffalo, the elephant, the rhino and the leopard.

Nairobi is the Capital , located between the city of Mombasa in the east and Kampala (Uganda) to the west. Places to visit in the Capital are: Nairobi National Park, Karen Blixen Museum, Giraffe centre, and Elephant nursery, Bomas of Kenya. At night you cannot miss dinner at the Carnivore restaurant.

Mombasa is the second largest city in the country and one of the largest ports in Eastern-Africa. It ’s located on an island, separated from the mainland by two creeks. The old city built around Fort Jesus is worth a visit. North and south from Mombasa we find the white sandy beaches and Holiday Resorts.
