Visit the coast

The Kenyan coast is lined with pristine white sand beaches fringing the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean. Here the wilderness meets the sea, and the ocean itself holds a world of spectacular coral reefs teeming with life and colour.

Mombasa: the beach is white sands, no seaweed, unlike the North Coast. This is affordable and is such a break from the grind of Nairobi. You can take a bus (700 Ksh), a train (4000 Ksh round trip) or a plane ($100 round trip) to the coast. We recommend flying since the safety of the other two options is not so reliable. It is also worth the comfort if you can afford it. The road to Mombasa is bumpy. It takes 14 hours to get to Mombasa by train and 7 hours by bus.

Malindi and Watamu offer plenty for the traveller who wants to blend relaxation and exploration...

Lamu: This is a place like no other, a peaceful tropical island where life is lived at it is own relaxed rhythm, but a place whose history is as mysterious and fascinating as the winding streets of it is medieval stone town.

Wildlife Safari

A wildlife safari in Kenya is one of the greatest travel experiences. Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in Nature at its most pure.

Amboseli: this beautiful park consists of wide open plains crowned by the snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is easily accessible from Nairobi, and its relatively small size and open plains make game viewing very easy.

Masai Mara: is widely considered to be Africas greatest wildlife reserve. The prime interest for most visitors to this area, obviously, is to see wildlife. The sheer volume and variety of the Mara will certainly not disappoint. If visiting the Mara from July through October, visitors should take the opportunity to witness one of the world s greatest natural spectacles, the Great Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti. The herds of the Mara attract plenty of predators. This is the best place in all of Kenya to see Lions.

Tsavo: the open plains are the best place to see the large herds of game. The region is well known for its herds of "Red Elephants", their skins stained by rich ochre dust. The plains are also ideal for finding Lion, Eland, Impala, Kudu and possibly Rhinoceros. In the forested hills, large herds of Buffalo and Giraffe are often found.

Lake region

Kenya straddles the centre of the Great Rift Valley, the vast prehistoric fissure that stretches from Jordan to Mozambique. From the North to the South of Kenya, the valley is lined with a series of freshwater and soda based volcanic lakes. Travelling from lake to lake is a journey through a world of contrasts: from papyrus fringed Naivasha with its abundance of birdlife, through Nakuru with its famous flamingo population, the steam geysers of Bogoria, the crocodiles and hippo of Baringo and North to the mighty Jade Sea of Turkana.
