Situated along the Nairobi River in beautiful Kenya, the capital of Nairobi is East Africa's most cosmopolitan city. It serves as an excellent starting point for African safari trips around Kenya. Nairobi is Africa’s 4th largest city and is a vibrant and exciting place to be. There are some fascinating attractions: its cafe culture, unbridled nightlife, the National Museum, the Karen Blixen Museum and most notably, just 20 minutes from the city centre, wild lions and buffalo roam in the world’s only urban game reserve. Make sure you pay a visit to the elephant orphanage operated by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust for a once in a lifetime experience.
Palm-fringed white-sand beaches, tropical weather, and teeming coral reefs welcome visitors at the captivating Kenyan Coast. The offshore reefs are remarkable, offering excellent snorkelling and diving in an underwater wonderland inhabited by brilliantly coloured fish, turtles, dolphins and dazzling coral gardens. Deep-sea fishing is also a popular activity here, with ample opportunities to enjoy the sport. The Marine National Park of Watamu and gorgeous Diani Beach are must-sees, along with a visit to the paradisiacal wonderland of the Lamu Archipelago, and the idyllic and vibrant port city of Mombasa. A rich Mijikenda and Swahili culture is still celebrated along the coast, and if you enquire about events you will probably be invited. History and architecture enthusiasts will enjoy seeing the impressive and well-preserved Fort Jesus and the glorious Lord Shiva Temple.
The Masai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. The image of acacia trees dotting endless grass plains epitomises Africa for many, then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation need go no further. The undeniable highlight of the Masai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration traversing the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. It is known as the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. Large prides of lions, herds of elephants, as well as giraffes, gazelles and eland can also be spotted in the reserve. Aside from horse riding safaris and traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost essential.
