Kenya Attractions

Dont be surprised because when one speaks of top tourist attractions in Kenya, the images that first come to mind would probably involve African safari rides and the sight of beautiful and equally intimidating animals like lions and hyenas.

Well, for the most part, this expectation is on point. But there are a number of other highlights in this country that travelers can look forward to seeing.

Here you will find a vast of Safaris Package start from a day tour up to days’ tour with combing destination and activities such as mountains climb, game drive, camping to relaxation on tropical beach in Mombasa and other places of India Ocean coast.

Kenya can truly claim to be the home of the "safari" since the word is Kiswahili (Swahili) for a journey. And there's no better place to enjoy the enriching wildlife experience than Kenya. The country's game viewing experiences are widely regarded as the best in Africa.

the wildebest one of the vast of Safaris Package start from a day tour up to days

It is the place to see seemingly endless herds of wildebeest  and zebras trekking across the plains on their annual migrations - followed by the predators, lions, cheetah and hyena. It's elephant country, boasting some of the largest populations in the world. 

The Masai Mara game reserve is the largest  in the world, a vast amphitheater teeming with game while the snowcapped majesty of Mount Kenya inspired Hemingway to write a novel.

But if you think the top tourist attractions in Kenya ends there, then you’re up for a pleasant surprise since you’d also be treated to great beach escapes on some of its offshore territories. 

Mombasa is among the country’s famous beach sites. And it is a recommendable pit stop for a luxurious vacation experience.

Here, you could indulge in some snorkeling, diving and dolphin watching. But if you can’t afford the accommodations there, you could head on over to Lamu Island instead, which also features amazing diving and snorkeling spots. 

If you’re lucky, you might even get to swim with whale sharks during your stay. And to put an exclamation point to your Kenya excursion, you should climb Mount Kenya and conquer one of the highest peaks in the world.

Finally, there are excellent places to stay. The lodges and tented camps are small, but very comfortable and each has its own distinct character, providing a tailor-made and personal service - the perfect bases for unforgettable safaris!
