These offer unmatched opportunities for unforgettable escapades, adventure and relaxation. Here are just a few of Kenya’s attractions…
Kenya Animals
The biggest tourist attraction in Kenya is its wildlife. The country is home to some of the most majestic animals in the world; elephants, buffalo, leopards, lions, and rhinos. Giraffes, hyenas, zebras, wildebeests and monkeys are also common sights.
The country is also home to a large number of national parks where you can experience these Kenya animals in their wild habitats. Masai Mara National Reserve is Lion Country and hosts the breathtaking annual wildebeest migration. The Tsavo National Parks are famous for their red elephants.
Amboseli National Park is elephant country par excellence and provides picturesque views of the majestic Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain and the highest freestanding mountain in the world. Lake Nakuru National Park is home to millions of flamingos and is one of the top sanctuaries for rhinos.
And, Nairobi National Park offers you the chance to see wild lions, rhinos, leopards, buffaloes and giraffes against the backdrop of the capital city’s skyscrapers.
Kenya Beaches
Despite the popularity of its wildlife, Kenya beaches also have a lot more to offer. The coastal city of Mombasa offers some of the finest beaches anywhere as well as traditional water sports such as swimming, surfing, sailing, snorkelling and deep sea fishing.
Malindi and Watamu offer some stunning coral reefs and provide out-of-this-world diving opportunities. And, Lamu with its narrow alleys, dhows from a bygone era and uninhabited island is a great place to unwind. For this reason, Lamu is particularly popular with honeymooners.
