Kenya

Overview

Kenya continues to impress and astonish even the most traveled of visitors. The incredible diversity of wildlife found in the Mara, Amboseli and the other parks in the country is what has made Kenya the destination for the classic safari for the last century. The herds of elephant, the masses of wildebeest and of course lion are just the starting point of any safari. Experience the culture of the traditional Masai that live in Kenya’s national parks. Learn to make fire without matches, take a tour of a typical Masai hut and test your jumping skills against Masai warriors.

For the more adventurous, Africa abounds with extreme activities. Thrill-seekers will want to trek the slopes of Mt. Kenya, Africa’s 2nd highest mountain, as well as try out the white water rafting opportunities in the central part of the country.
