Kenya has something for any traveler. There are many different landscapes and cultures, all quite different and beautiful. There is the desert of the north, and the Rift Valley where evidence of protohumans was first found. There are many brilliant lakes, including Lake Victoria in western Kenya, Lake Naivasha and many more. Kenya has the second highest peak in Africa, the great Mt. Kenya. It has twenty National Parks and Reserves packed full of the elusive “Big Five” (Elephant, Leopard, Lion, Cape Buffalo, and Rhinoceros).
Of course, there is also the coast, very picturesque, with white sands, emerald water, and the Swahili culture, a unique mix of Arabic and Bantu influences. Compound the incredible scenery and limitless travel options with friendly and welcoming people, and visiting Kenya becomes a great vacation.
The best places to start your travels in Kenya are probably Nairobi the capital and Mombasa the second largest city, located on the coast. Borth are served by international flights and have a very good tourist infrastructure.
