| Central Kenya is the high hill country above Nairobi – a land of mountain peaks, spectacular waterfalls and remote alpine moors that provide a unique and breathtaking African landscape. It is also an area of coffee plantations and small farms that make up the region’s thriving agricultural sector. There is, of course, wildlife to view. But, for the visitor, this is an area in which to enjoy adrenalin-fuelled sports such as white-water rafting, mountaineering and bungee jumping and a chance to participate in less strenuous activities not usually associated with Kenya, such as hill walking and trout fishing. |

| The dazzling Kenyan Coast conjurs up images of sun-drenched beaches with soft sand, warm turquoise waters and refreshing sea breezes. The coast is also dotted with attractive creeks, sleepy rivers and shady inlets. This is an ideal place for big game fishing, diving, water sports – or just lying on the beach. No region in Kenya is better served in terms of hotel accommodation. From Lamu in the north to Chale Island in the far south, visitors will find just about every type of hotel with a range of prices to suit all budgets. Lying just offshore is a series of highly protected marine parks – Mombasa, Malindi, Diani/Chale Island, Kiunga, Kisite Mpunguti and Watamu – that together stretch almost the entire length of the Kenyan coastline, offering a true paradise for divers. |

| Just a short hop from Nairobi, yet a world away in every other respect, is the Eastern Region circuit, which includes the Samburu National Reserve as well as the eco friendly parks – less visited, but now gaining in popularity. At Samburu visitors get an opportunity to view five species or sub-species that are found almost nowhere else in Kenya: the beisa oryx, gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe and Somali ostrich. This is also the home of the Meru National Park, once the home of Joy and George Adamson (Bwana Simba). Click the button below to see more. |

| For many, Nairobi is this place they arrive to and quickly transfer to another destination. Most visitors arriving at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport transfer immediately to nearby Wilson Airport for their short flight to the bush, or pick up their safari van for the overland trip to their lodge or camp. This is a real pity, because not only does Nairobi possess some real hidden gems like the Nairobi National Museum, the African Heritage House and the Nairobi National Park, among others, but there is a host of attractions within easy striking distance of the city to delight even the most hard-bitten and world-weary traveller. Check out some of the interesting places you can visit here by clicking the button below. |

| Kenya's Rift Valley travel experience for us starts with the mostly remote and sometimes hard-to-reach attractions of the North Rift circuit that are for the adventurous and for those seeking to explore Kenya at its most rugged. But they also appeal to visitors who are drawn by the area’s lakes, hot springs and bird sanctuaries. Parks, lakes and attractions such as Lake Bogoria and Sibiloi. These parks hold a particular fascination for experienced travellers who like to go off the beaten track and for visitors with time on their hands. The South Rift circuit on the other hand comprises the most varied as well as some of the best known attractions in Kenya, including the famed Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Naivasha and the popular and easily accessible Lake Nakuru National Park famous for its large flamingo population and its rhino sanctuary. The Masai Mara is the ideal first-time safari destination because it has a little bit of everything, including big cats in abundance, plenty of accommodation options – both inside and outside the Reserve, a ‘must do’ activity in the form of sunrise balloon flights and of course the world-famous Wilbeeste Migration.
