Kenya
is famously known
as the land many
contrasts. And it
is a well deserved
reputation the county
has. From the sandy
white beaches in
the south coast
of Mombasa,to the
wildlife filled
parks of the south
and north of the
country. From the
scorching semi arid
northern frontier
district to the
snow capped Mount
Kenya right astride
the equator. From
the very modern
Cities of Nairobi,
Mombasa and Kisumu
to the remote Maasai
Mara and Lake Turkana
areas where has
not changed a bit
in hundreds of years.
From the modern
blue chip executives
of Nairobi to the
Ogiek community
who still live in
the forests and
the cultures and
architecture of
Lamu, Mombasa and
Malindi that have
remained the same
for centuries, Kenya
is truly a land
of many contrasts.
Kenya’s
main tourist attractions
revolve around its
diverse natural
beauty and heritage.
Many
visitors to Kenya
are fascinated by
the diverse wildlife
in its natural habitat
in the many national
parks and reserves
where big and small
animals from rodents
and millipedes to
the famous big five
of elephant, lion,
leopard, rhino and
buffalo are founding
abundance. A trip
to Maasai Mara guarantees
sightings of lions
while Lake Nakuru
guarantees rhino
sightings in addition
to being the one
park where the elusive
leopard is most
easily found.
Visit

Reserve for sightings
of the unique northern
wildlife species
like the reticulated
giraffe, the long
necked gerenuk,
the grevy Zebra
and several other
species found only
north of the equator.
Amboseli National
Park is famous for
large herds of elephant
and the Cynthia
Moss elephant research
project. And the
best views of Mt.
Kilimanjaro, Africa’s
roof top and the
second tallest mountain
in the world. Actually,
the views of Mt.
Kilimanjaro from
Amboseli are the
best from any national
park in East Africa.
Many other national
parks and reserves
dotted all over
the country account
for the extensive
array of wildlife
found in Kenya.
Then
there are the long
stretches of fabulous
beaches to be found
on Kenya’s coast.
The amazing cultures
of Kenya’s 40+ ethnic
groups all around
the country. The
happy and hospitable
peoples who always

warm Jambo!

industry, the product

service experience.
And the fabulous
landscapes and scenery
from the beach at
sea level to the
snow upon Mt. Kenya
at 5199 meters above
sea level.
The
Great Rift Valley
and the numerous
lakes on its surface
that are a bird
watchers gem including
Lake Nakuru’s over
a million flamingoes
and pelicans. And
there are so many
more. No doubt,

has so much variety
to offer and each
