Of all the countries in Africa, none can match the sheer range of scenery and landscapes found in Kenya. There is a wide variety and concentration of wild animals and birds. This is the magic of Kenya. As evident as it has always been.

With the gifts of nature bestowed in such profusion, Kenya remains the first choice country for visitors to Africa. There is so much to see and do, the difficulty lies in deciding what to leave out of a Kenyan safari.

The annual wildebeest migration to the Massai Mara is the world's greatest wildlife spectacle, something not to be missed if you're visiting Kenya between August and October.

There are a thousand species of birds to spot, a million plus flamingos to count, 59 plus National Parks and Reserves to explore, trails to hike, mountains to climb, golf holes to eagle, trout to catch and people to meet. And after all this activity in the bush, what a contrast to let go and relax on a white sand, palm-fringed beach of the waters of Indian Ocean.

All this exciting variety can be summarized in the following verse extracted from a Kenya Tourist Board brochure.

"Get off the beaten track on a walking safari, a camel safari, or on horseback".

Above all, Kenya is a feast for the eyes.

You have to see it to believe it.

When you see Kenya, you see Africa!

ACCOMMODATION

One of the delights of a Kenyan safari is the range and variety of places to stay. Luxury tented camps, five-star beach hotels, or tree top hotel for spectacular and intimate view of animals are many and the choices available.

CONSERVATION

In recent years the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has virtually eliminated poaching and seen dramatic increases in the numbers of several threatened species such as the elephant and rhinoceros. The Parks and Reserves have been restored and rehabilitated to provide safe, secure havens for animals and visitors.
