Destination Kenya - Home of Safaris
|
A country smaller than the state of Texas, the Kenyan landscape combines the Great Rift Valley littered with alkaline lakes, 500 kilometers of coral reef fringed by the most beautiful talcum-soft white sandy beaches, tropical rainforests, snow-covered Mount Kenya on the Equator line, lush agricultural fields, savanna grasslands, and the world's second largest freshwater lake.
Kenya is one of only a handful of countries in Africa having the greatest wildlife diversity in the world including all the Big Five game Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Cape Buffalo. In addition, Kenya is home to the United Nations Environmental Program's world headquarters, center for humanitarian relief operations and guardian to three world heritage sites: Central Island (Lake Turkana), Sibiloi National Park / Koobi Fora (Lake Turkana) and Mount Kenya.
Kenya is currently the leading safari destination in the world.
Kenya has a good network of safari lodges and we use them for our outdoor activities. Most safaris lodges in Kenya offer internationally acceptable standards of service and cuisine. We have selected the safari lodges carefully to ensure you visit the best wildlife spots. Just like in the good old days, you will travel from one safari lodge to another with the exciting daily game-viewing activities.
