Travel Guide Kenya
For its size, Kenya has a lot of variety- deserts, mountains, tribal culture, beaches, and all of the wildlife Africa is known for. Some say that Kenya is a microcosm of all of Africa, and there are a multitude of reasons why a trip to Kenya is a good idea. From the rainforests of Kakamega to the beaches of the Indian Ocean and the Masai Mara grasslands, to the deserts by the Jade Sea to Hell's Gate National Park, there is so much to see and do in Kenya that it may take more than one travel trip to see it all.
As you may know, wildlife safaris have been the bread and butter of Kenya's tourist economy for many years. Several parks, such as Tsavo National Park, are great places to see elephants, leopards, lions and wildebeests. Kenya is one of the best birdwatching destinations in the world; other outdoorsy types can trek Mt. Kenya's glacial ridges, take a balloon ride over the Masai Mara, and snorkel at Marine National Park. The biggest city in Nairobi, Kenya, has a dubious reputation and is avoided by many visitors, but it does have a certain appeal with its nightlife and bustling cafes.
Like the country itself, the people of Kenya are representative of a cross-section of modern Africa. In everyday life, tribal traditions and modern habits are blended together in a vibrant mixture. Take a trip to Kenya and go on safari, or have a lively discourse with a local. Whatever you do while you're there, visiting Kenya will provide you with memories that last a lifetime.
