Presentation
Kenya is one of our favorite destinations to discover in Africa. It’s also a great destination for tourist willing to do an adventure journey and safari holidays. Kenya is usually perceived as the birthplace for an Africa safari, and carries a range of extraordinary Kenya safari packages from which to choose.
Kenya has had a great reputation for adventure tourism and is one of the most important known destinations in Africa. Kenya has some of the world’s best game reserves where adventurers can see some of the finest African flora and fauna. The parks are famous for lions, giraffes, elephants and huge herds of zebras, wildebeests and buffalos. It is wise to shop around for tour operators before picking one, to see what is currently on offer, whom you vibe with, and to get a competitive price. Adventure tourists will be amazed by Kenya‘s national parks, gorgeous nature and cities, which make this country, attract many tourists from around the World. Kenya is not nicknamed “Magic of Africa“ for any reason.
Geography
Kenya is situated in Eastern Africa. Its Indian Ocean coast lies between Somalia to the north east and Tanzania to the south. Its other surrounding countries are Ethiopia and South Sudan to the north and Uganda to the west.
Kenya has a tropical climate. It is hot and humid at the coast, temperate inland and very dry in the north and northeast parts of the country. The country receives a great deal of sunshine all the year round and summer clothes are worn throughout the year. However, it is usually cool at night and early in the morning. Most of Kenya is at high altitude and only in the north and on the coast does it get really hot.
We advise adventure travelers to visit Kenya, during the dry seasons – from the end of May to early October, when it is also cooler, and then again from late November to early March when it is generally warmer.
Why visit Kenya ?
Natural beauty
From snow-capped mountains to the deep Rift Valley with its extinct volcanoes and hot springs, Kenya offers a breathtaking and amazing natural beauty that is distinctly spectacular. Inland, there are wide-open plains and savannahs, arid deserts and undisturbed forests. Along the coast there are magnificent sandy beaches and access to amazing coral reefs. Whether adventurers choose to laze in the tropical sun, swim in the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean or climb Mount Kenya, they will experience an unparalleled variety of beauty everywhere they travel. Go on safari to spot the “Big Five” animals in the wild, or simply enjoy our history, culture and lifestyle.

Kenya is the home of the wildlife safari, and offers some of the best and most accessible game viewing in the world, including the hard-to-resist attraction of the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino).
