Known as the “Safari Capital” of Africa and stretching across the equator with picturesque peaks, Kenya makes for a perfect tourist destination. With a blend of several cultures and ethnicity, the colors, the ambience and the beauty of Kenya is a treat for any traveler.

With a diverse landscape, from mountains, to beaches to desert to savannahs, Kenya is home to a number of animals, including lion, giraffe, leopard, zebra, elephants and many more.

Tourist Attraction In Kenya

  • Climbing Mount Kenya: Mount Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa. Topped with glaciers, this extinct volcano bisects the equator. If mountaineering is your hobby, you can hike over to the lower slopes or even trek to the summit. Although, Mount Kenya can be accessed all year round, yet heavy rainfall occurs between late March and Early May and in late October to mid-December. Snowfall on the other hand can be experienced all around the year.

  • Overland Safari: With several reserves alongside each other, there is plenty to see and enjoy. Remote areas of Turkana are a perfect location for a camping safari. You can hire a good tour guide from Nairobi for a few days and bump into the wilderness of beautiful rivers and scenic forests. To conclude your safari, you can choose to relax on the sandy beaches of the coast.
  • Rhino Sanctuaries: Game ranches such as Solio in Aberdares provides a perfect setting for observing rhinoceros in their natural habitat, both black and white.
  • Balloon Safari: Costing between US$450-500 approx., Balloon safaris are a great way to explore Kenya. Nothing can compare to the excitement and thrills of embarking your journey on a balloon. Witnessing the wildness from a panoramic bird eye view is certainly one of the most relaxing and memorable experiences ever.
  • Kakamega Forest: An isolated patch of equatorial forest, Kakamega forest is home to hundreds of animals and birds species that exists nowhere else. Imagine walking in the green forest, with deep shades of wood, moss and flowers providing a perfect contrast to the scenery.
  • Eco Lodge: With wilderness adventure being mainstay, an eco-lodge provides perfect accommodation for nature lovers. Made from wood, concrete and corrugated irons, the eco-lodges offer a stunning view of the forest and wildlife.
