Your gateway to Kenya’s wonders

The gateway to Kenya is its capital city, Nairobi. As the transportation hub of the country, the city’s airports, roads, trains, and bus stations are responsible for ferrying guests to the aquamarine waters of the coastline, the expansive Rift Valley Lake region, and wide open savannahs of the Maasai Mara or the verdant landscapes in the central highlands. The Kenyan capital is, however, well worth exploring in its own right. The continent’s largest and second-largest mountains, Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, are visible from the city on a clear day. Just west of the city, Karen Blixen’s legendary Ngong Hills rest against the landscape.

Go on safari in Kenya’s most famend nature reserve

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly Kenya’s most notable and revered reserve. Its sheer size—extending to and eventually joining Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park—and stringent anti-poaching systems have made it famous for its remarkable populations of lion, cheetah, and leopard. It is also celebrated for being one of the stomping grounds of the Great Wildebeest Migration.

Strut your stuff with Lake Nakuru’s flamingo’s

Part of the Rift Valley soda lakes, Lake Nakuru may often seem pink in colour as thousands upon thousands of flamingos forage for succulent treats, while black and white rhinos plod along the shoreline. Keep an eye out for hefty pythons that have been known to slink across the road as they make their way to and from the woodlands surrounding the lake. Lake Nakuru National Park is best explored by safari vehicle on daily drives, where visitors can scan the savannah for all signs of life.
