KENYA, THE LAND OF SAFARIS

In many ways, Kenya is the entire African continent in microcosm. It is a land of dramatic contrasts where endless horizons, breathtaking scenery, snow-capped mountain, wondrous wildlife, sun-drenched beaches and the azure waters of the Indian Ocean fulfil your every expectation.

Here the old and the new exist side by side in harmony. In the middle of a game park, far from any urban centers, visitors can enjoy the luxuries of hot showers and gourmet meals. Modern Nairobi with its skyscrapers and up-to-date shopping malls contrast greatly with the typical African mud villages on its outskirts.

Then there is the western mode dominating the streets of Nairobi against the traditionally attired Masai just a few miles away leading their nomadic way of life, totally oblivious to the progress of civilization. These disparities form the charm of Kenya.

Kenya covers an area the size of France. Additionally it straddles the Equator thus enjoying beautiful climate all year round with warm sunny days and cool nights. Altitudes range from sea level to the peak of Mt Kenya at 5199m, the second highest mountain in Africa.

Kenya has some of the best National Parks and Game Reserves in Africa that host incredible diversity of wildlife. Also over 40 different tribes live side by side, each with its own culture producing a kaleidoscope of tradition and folklore.

Welcome to Kenya - all of Africa in one country.
