Kenya
Kenya is classic safari country: the wildebeest herds of the Maasai Mara, Rift Valley lakes and Swahili culture along the Indian Ocean coast.
Why Visit Kenya
Kenya is a microcosm of Africa, with coastlines, mountains, savannahs, valleys and fertile farmlands all within one country. From the Indian Ocean in the east to Lake Victoria in the west, its interior is cut by the Great Rift Valley, one of Earth’s most dramatic geological features.
The Great Migration
Witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, the World Cup of wildlife, on the plains of the Maasai Mara.
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is Kenya’s crown of natural wonders.
Nairobi National Park
Nairobi National Park brings wildlife viewing right to the edge of the capital.
The Rift Valley Lakes
Lake Naivasha is known for birdwatching and hippos, and Lake Nakuru for flamingos and rhinos.
Mount Kenya
Africa’s second-highest peak, at 5,199 metres, offers trekking and alpine scenery in the cool Central Highlands.
Coast and Culture
Relax on beaches like Diani, Malindi and Lamu, explore Swahili history, or encounter authentic Maasai culture.
Get to Know Kenya
The coast
The low plains stretch inland from the Indian Ocean, with warm tropical climates and beaches like Diani, Malindi and Lamu. The region is rich in Swahili culture and history, with ancient towns and forts, and its coastal forests and marine parks protect coral reefs and mangroves.
The Central Highlands
These fertile, cooler highlands are ideal for tea and coffee, two of Kenya’s top exports. They are home to Mount Kenya and are often called the breadbasket of Kenya.
The Great Rift Valley
This dramatic trench, formed millions of years ago, features escarpments, volcanic cones and crater lakes. It is also a cradle of human history, with archaeological sites like the Turkana Basin.
The Lake Victoria Basin
The fertile lands around Africa’s largest lake support farming and fishing and extend east into productive plateaus. The basin is culturally vibrant, with communities like the Luo and Luhya.
