Kenya is a land richly endowed by nature, situated on the east coast of Africa. It is a land where one can view snow-capped mountains one day and laze on palm fringed beaches the next. The lush farmlands contrast with the harsh desert area and the misty highlands with the sun-kissed savannah. Cosmopolitan cities are set amidst the last bastions of great herds of roaming wildlife.
Kenya offers the traveller a great safari attraction. It is also a country of great diversity with much more to offer than only splendid wildlife.
The outdoor enthusiast has a host of choices for adventure. From the coastbeaches and water-based activities, to the mountains which present a challenge to hikers and climbers. The rolling savannahs are a game-viewers paradise.
