Kenya is known for its lush savannahs, soaring mountains, desert area, unspoilt beaches and warm natured people. The mild climate makes it perfect for exploring and it is one of the most popular destinations for a safari experience. Furthermore, it boasts one of the most magnificent sights you are ever likely to see †rising 5199 meters above sea level is Mount Kenya, the second highest mountain in the continent.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is highly rated with an annual wildebeest migration, a staggering amount of wild and beautiful animals that make the reserve their home, and a broad diversity of birdlife. The plains are packed with wildebeest, impala, zebra, topi, giraffe and Thomson's gazelle. You may even get the chance to see leopards and lions, hyenas, cheetah, and bat-eared foxes. Whilst you will be lucky to see black rhino, the hippos and Nile crocodiles are abundant in the Mara River.

Visit the Amboseli National Park, a place of wild, dry plains where you can see zebra and impala, black rhino’s, herds of wildebeest, and one of the largest elephant populations in the country, including tusked bulls. You might even get to see cheetah. The most impressive views of Mt Kilimanjaro can be seen in Amboseli and there are areas of acacia forest that make it a great place for the bird spotters amongst you.

Meru National Park is immense with dry, open plains, strewn along its 13 rivers are doum palms, baobab trees and verdant vegetation.
